The Feel of a Family
Lipscomb Academy’s mission is greater than merely shaping the academic minds of our students; therefore, providing a community for our students where they are known, valued and loved and can grow emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually is crucial. We guide students to discover their gifts and passions so that they can become responsible adults and positively influence the Nashville and greater global society.
“Lipscomb Academy is not only an enjoyable environment and a comprehensive community but also a family filled with love and respect. Going through the difficult transition from one culture to another, the teachers and students at the academy welcomed me with warm hugs and offered me so much help. Despite my family far from home, they embrace me into the school and make me feel like I have an even bigger family here at Lipscomb.”

Broadening Our Community Through Missions
Life at Lipscomb Academy is a daily, personal process of growing more aware of God’s presence and becoming more like Christ through the Spirit. We strive to live in right relationship with God, ourselves and others, in every dimension of life. As one outreach of that goal, we focus on our missional reach to the world, and through these unique interactions of service with people of different cultures, students see one another through the lens of Christ and realize each other's worth and value as God intended.
