The School

University School of Nashville is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational day school with enrollment of 1,068 students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Founded in 1915 as Peabody Demonstration School by George Peabody College for Teachers, it earned acclaim for its curriculum and faculty. In 1974, after Peabody College announced plans to close PDS, a group of parents, alumni, students, and teachers reconstituted and re-chartered the school as USN.

Located next to Vanderbilt University and Peabody College, USN’s culture of innovation and educational excellence is rooted in its 105-year-old history. It offers a vibrant community for students and teachers in a dynamic city.

USN values achievement and high standards, fostering an environment where educators are enthusiastic about their own learning and professional growth, with many opportunities for development.

Diversity and inclusion are central to USN’s mission. The school is committed to reflecting the cultural and ethnic makeup of Nashville and encourages a diverse applicant pool, providing equal employment opportunities.
