Columbus Bilingual Academy North Wins Three 2023 Accely Awards

Congratulations to Columbus Bilingual Academy North for winning three Accely awards at the annual leadership summit held this July. The school was recognized for outstanding student enrollment, fiscal responsibility, and academic performance – taking home the coveted Gold School award.

Recognizing the hard work and success of our schools and school leaders is an important tradition at ACCEL Schools. While schools across the country are still recovering from challenges related to the pandemic, we have seen a surge in success from schools serving historically underrecognized communities.

“We are mission driven to make quality education available to all children regardless of geographic location or life circumstances,” said ACCEL Schools CEO Ron Packard who presented the awards on July 17. “It is an honor to recognize the staff and leadership who are putting ACCEL’s ideals into action and creating positive change in the lives of the students and communities who need it most.”

Columbus Bilingual Academy received the following 2023 ACCELY awards:

Outstanding Student Enrollment
Maintaining strong student enrollment is important to the overall health of a school. Columbus Bilingual did an excellent job of attracting and retaining students in 2023.

Outstanding Fiscal Responsibility
Schools are successful when they perform well financially as well as academically. Columbus Bilingual’s financial health ensures the school’s ability to serve the community long-term.

Gold School Award
The Gold School Award recognizes the highest achieving schools in the ACCEL network. This prestigious award went to 10 schools in 2023 that demonstrated strong academic outcomes as well as positive enrollment growth. Principal Mora-Brenas was recognized for his exceptional job in overseeing the expansion of the CBAN campus when he took the reigns as principal mid-year.

Congratulations to every member of our Columbus Bilingual Academy community for contributing to our success in 2023. We are honored to accept these Accely awards on behalf of our entire team and look forward to another extraordinary school year.
