- At the University School of Nashville, teaching and learning come first. Everything we do is rooted in a commitment to celebrate each day's potential in a community of learners to explore the remarkable dimensions of a K-12 school in an educational setting, unlike any other. Our students and faculty can count on being asked for their very best and on being encouraged at every step along the way. In our Lower School, each classroom provides a world of possibilities and a teacher who guides a child's day with great care. In Middle School, grade-level teams of dedicated teachers help students develop their skills and habits to promote greater academic independence and social maturity. Led by inspiring teachers, High School students pursue deeper understanding as they find their voices in preparation for a college curriculum's challenges. Our families represent an inspiring breadth of cultural experience, united in their wish for young people to learn from one another as they come to know themselves. We may find those opportunities in weekly town meetings, on our River Campus playing fields, in vibrant art studios, in lunchtime conversation, or a neighborhood tutorial program. Our Mission: University School of Nashville models the best educational practices. In an environment that represents the cultural and ethnic composition of Metropolitan Nashville, USN fosters each student's intellectual, artistic, and athletic potential, valuing and inspiring integrity, creative expression, a love of learning, and the pursuit of excellence. University School of Nashville does not discriminate based on color, creed, gender identity, and expression, handicap, national origin, race, sex, sexual orientation, or transgender status in the administration of its educational, admissions, and financial aid policies, faculty and staff recruitment and hiring policies, athletics, or other programs or activities administered by the school. Students come first at University School. A commitment to a spirit of inquiry and the life of the mind defines teaching and learning here. The lower school learning community emphasizes mutual respect and individual responsibility, with high expectations for learning. In middle school, subject area content helps students develop their capacities to think, read, write, listen, and speak and their abilities to manage their time, materials, and ideas. The high school faculty fosters students' independence and initiative by providing courses that increase students' facility in abstract, critical reasoning through engagement in complex, non-routine challenges.
