Cassady Alternative Elementary School

Cassady Alternative Elementary School, located on the northeast side of Columbus, Ohio, is a specialized K-5 institution within the Columbus City Schools district. As an "alternative" school, it provides an educational environment that differs from traditional neighborhood-based assignments, focusing on intentional community building and targeted academic support. The school serves a diverse student population and is committed to fostering a structured, inclusive atmosphere that emphasizes both core academic proficiency and the development of strong character and social-emotional skills.

The school is known for its focus on creating a supportive culture where educators and staff work closely with families to ensure student success. Because it operates as an alternative program, Cassady often attracts students and parents seeking a specific learning environment that prioritizes smaller class focus, personalized attention, and a commitment to closing achievement gaps. Through its curriculum and extracurricular offerings, the school strives to prepare its young learners for middle school success while maintaining a community-centered identity in the Columbus area.
