Debbie Keeran
Debbie Keeran, currently in her 30th year at Academy, oversees all admissions to the Lower School.

The Columbus Academy is a co-educational, college preparatory day school with 1,057 students offering grades Pre-K through 12.

The Director of Admissions is John Wuorinen '80 and the Assistant Director of Admissions is Debbie Keeran.

Because first-round admissions decisions are announced on March 1, parents are encouraged to begin the admissions process in the fall.  An ideal timetable would be as follows:

  • Tour the school in September, October or November.
  • Attend the December Open House.
  • Submit application before the December holidays.
  • Submit appropriate transcripts/teacher recommendation by the first week in January.
  • Sign up applicant for screening/testing beginning in December.
  • Receive first-round admission decisions on March 1.

A complete admissions packet can be sent to you upon request. Contact the Admissions Office at (614) 337-4309
