Forming Saints and Scholars for the greater glory of God.
Authentic Catholic Education
Founded in 2024, St. Michael Academy (SMA) is the Diocese of Nashville’s first regional elementary school, offering an exceptional Catholic education for students in PreK3 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.
Located on 100 acres in Nolensville, Tennessee, the campus offers a dynamic environment where faith and scholarship flourish together. Innovative indoor and outdoor learning spaces enhance the rigorous, device-free academic program and inspire students to explore, create, and grow in faith and knowledge.
Seek Truth. Find Christ. Know Love.
Parent Testimonials
“Our family is so blessed to have our children attend SMA. The teachers and staff are amazing and know our children on an individual level. The academic education, Catholic teachings, and the ability for our kids to still be young children at heart while attending SMA is the perfect combination we were hoping for.”
“St. Michael Academy is a special place. The school and campus are unquestionably beautiful, but there is so much more beauty found in the community centered on Christ that makes the school a welcome home to its students. My daughter is thriving here because of the authentically loving teachers and staff who work tirelessly to help cultivate the gifts God has given her, nourishing both her mind and soul.”
“We couldn’t be happier with St. Michael Academy. Our children are absolutely thriving…academically, socially, and spiritually. The campus is safe and beautiful, with dedicated teachers and staff. Highly recommend.”
