Columbus Torah Academy runs a double curriculum. Half of the day is Judaic studies and half of the day is Secular studies. There are different levels of classes, and, based on grade level and previous experiences, students are sorted into one of these classes.
In each high school grade level students are required to volunteer at least 15 hours of their services for the community. A common thing to do is "Friendship Circle" and "Menorah Park". In the junior year, each student must contribute 30 hours of volunteer work at The Dowd Center.
The CTA campus is situated on a 42-acre (170,000 m2) tract with modern, fully air-conditioned facilities. Prayer services are held twice daily in the school's synagogue-sanctuary, also used as an auditorium. The facility includes 32 classrooms, three science labs, two gymnasiums, two computer labs, one writing lab, arts loft and two libraries. Additionally, the campus contains outdoor soccer, and ball fields, tennis courts, and playground equipment.[3]
