PHILOSOPHY
Nashville Christian School, founded by members of the Churches of Christ and in partnership with students, parents, and staff, strives to give honor and glory to God through Jesus Christ in all aspects of its day-to-day programs. We, Nashville Christian School, seek to provide a Christ-centered and nurturing environment in order to develop our students into committed and productive Christian servants in all areas of this life and in preparation for eternity. We, as the community of Nashville Christian School, believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, that Jesus Christ is God’s son, and that the Holy Spirit dwells in each believer. We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and that God seeks to reconcile His creation to Himself.

In light of each student’s individuality, we seek to promote the development of his/her mind and character. Nashville Christian School centers its entire program, whether in or out of the classroom, on Christian principles.
