Academics
Powered by AMP/edu
Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student’s learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.
Core Subjects & Electives
At Columbus Bilingual Academy North, we provide a standards-based curriculum that teaches students skills for college and career readiness. Our curriculum is built on the Ohio Learning Standards (OLS) for English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Electives (Art, Music, Physical Education, Spanish). Electives extend student learning beyond core academics, supporting creativity, movement, and multilingual growth.
English Language Arts
Instruction supports both literacy development and English language acquisition. Students build skills in reading, writing, and communication through structured, scaffolded lessons that meet their individual needs and support steady, confident growth.
Math
Math instruction develops number sense, problem-solving, and reasoning. Students use visual tools and real-world applications to build fluency and prepare for more advanced concepts over time.
Science
Science is hands-on and inquiry-based. Students explore natural, physical, and Earth sciences while learning to observe, ask questions, and think like scientists.
Art
Students use various materials and techniques to express ideas visually and develop artistic skills.
Music
Music builds rhythm, listening, and performance skills while encouraging creativity and collaboration.
Physical Education
PE helps students build coordination, fitness, and teamwork through structured movement and games.
Spanish
Spanish instruction supports continued development in the students’ home language or introduces Spanish as a second language, reinforcing bilingual learning in a culturally affirming way.
Instructional Model
Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. Our instructional model has four key components to achieve strong academic results:
Individualized Instruction
Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.
Properly Certified & Licensed Teachers
Our teachers meet the educator qualification requirements outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high quality performance.
More Time on Task
Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.
Short Cycle Assessments
Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
