The School

University School of Nashville has a rich history that dates back to 1915 when George Peabody College for Teachers opened Peabody Demonstration School, our predecessor. The school earned acclaim for its curriculum and faculty. In 1974, Peabody College announced plans to close PDS, but a group of parents, alumni, students, and teachers reconstituted and re-chartered the school as University School of Nashville. Today, we're an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational day school with nearly 1,100 kindergarten through twelfth-grade students. We're committed to creating an institutional environment that mirrors the cultural and ethnic composition of greater Nashville, and we encourage a diverse applicant pool. 

USN’s midtown location adjacent to Vanderbilt University and its Peabody College for Teachers reminds us each day of our beginnings 110 years ago in the demonstration school culture of innovation and educational best practices. It’s a vibrant educational community for both students and teachers in the midst of a dynamic city.

In the USN community, students expect much of each other, and faculty benefit from that high standard. We seek educators who are enthusiastic about their own learning to complement their teaching, and we offer many opportunities for professional development. USN is committed to creating an institutional environment that mirrors the cultural and ethnic composition of greater Nashville. USN encourages a diverse applicant pool and provides equal employment opportunities for employees and job applicants. We believe in investing in our educators' growth and development, recognizing their potential to shape the future of our students.
