About St. Michael Academy

Nestled in the Tennessee hills, Saint Michael Academy (SMA) is the Diocese of Nashville’s first regional elementary school serving students from Catholic Church of the Nativity, Holy Family Catholic Church, Mother Teresa Catholic Church, St. Luke Catholic Church, St. Philip Catholic Church, and greater Williamson County.

SMA's 102,000 square foot facility is a state-of-the-art learning environment. Heated and cooled geothermally and designed with an abundance of natural light, the school is home to an Innovation Lab, a Discovery Lab, two science rooms, a library, a media center, two art rooms, choir, instrumental music, dance, collaborative work rooms, and a resource wing for differentiated learning. The spacious chapel and library open to a gorgeous patio with a double-sided fireplace overlooking a large pond. Several of the classrooms are equipped with glass garage doors that open to outdoor classrooms. The entire campus is the new standard in Catholic elementary education, designed to lead students towards the pursuit of Truth, beauty, and goodness.

Saint Michael Academy was founded in 2024 and currently welcomes students in PreK-3 through 6th Grade. As the Academy continues to grow, 7th grade will be added in the 2026-2027 school year and 8th grade in 2027-2028, establishing a full PreK-8 program.
