History
Nashville Christian School opened on September 20, 1971 in the West Nashville Heights Church of Christ building. Initially, 266 students, ranging from first to seventh, attended the school, supported by 19 faculty members. Nashville Christian added higher grades successively in the first five years, and after the school moved to its current location on Sawyer Brown Road in Nashville, Tennessee outside of Bellevue in September 1976, twenty-two students became the first graduates in June 1977. Kindergarten classes were also added in 1981.
Nashville Christian became accredited with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1986. The same year, the school added the Gibson Center, a fieldhouse with a gymnasium, locker rooms, and classrooms. Financial problems in 1991 caused the school to be temporarily closed, but the school quickly rebounded after. The campus continued to expand in 2004, as a new elementary and middle school building opened, allowing Nashville Christian to expand its enrollment and school-related programs.
