Lipscomb Academy is a private, college preparatory, Christian school serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, located in Nashville, Tennessee, United States.

History

The Nashville Bible School was founded in 1891 by David Lipscomb and James A. Harding. By 1896 the school had three divisions: collegiate, intermediate, and primary. Most of the primary students were children of faculty members. Although a section of the school equivalent to high school has always existed, there has not always been an easy curriculum and graduation requirements as seen today. In the very early years of the school, high school students took the courses of their own selection and, when they felt ready, went on to college-level courses. High school students lived in dormitories with college students until the 1800s.

In June 2012, the school changed its name from David Lipscomb Campus School to Lipscomb Academy.

Lipscomb Academy has a strong athletic program that competes in the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA). It offers over 20 sports for middle and high school students, including football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, and track and field.
