f You believe Education is the key to your child's future, Linden Waldorf School is the right place…read morefor your child's dreams to come true. I researched all other top private schools in the area, only to realize that Linden's Staff and Teacher's are a notch above the rest. They are trailblazers with their unique Curriculum, Culture and Philosophy. I can say this because every person who chooses to work at this school has only love in their hearts for inspiring children to become the best version of themselves in this wonderful environment. We are fortunate, feeling blessed to be able to have our child attend. The Waldorf methodology has been in practice for over 100 years and throughout the entirety of the globe. It's both time-tested and more relevant than ever to preparing our children for the unknown landscape ahead. The positive feeling from when you enter this incredible campus runs deep. You will be filled with optimism for your child's future. I highly suggest applying early to not have your child miss out on a once in a lifetime experience. Linden Waldorf is a very special place with the ability to take what's known now and shape new possibilities for the future.

Here's what the five stars are for: -The warm hearted…read moregreeting from the first call to admissions to yesterday morning's drop off. -The food train (more than one round) rallied for my family when I got long haul Covid after the first months of being here in the Linden community. -The relentless communication from one of our subject's teacher that my son was really struggling and that he really needed attention around this and the meeting, emails and text answered so timely and my sons response to excel at that level of commitment and care. -The Square Dance Chili Cookout. 'Nuff said. -Our grades teachers being seriously so fun, authentic and committed to both of my children's development in their time. Coming from another waldorf school it differed in the approach to academics, especially because where we were was K-12 and Linden is K-8. My kid got his butt served in the Academic area but the teachers worked with him closely to get him up to par and now he's excelling. -Not once has a teacher or admin not heard out my request or concern without action and/or empathy. -My middle schooler having some crazy great relationships with his teacher, like asking me to have them for dinner. -Strings Program has changed my Son's life. These relationships support my family to thrive in so many ways. I appreciate the efforts of the school in these seriously challenging times. I'll say, it's not utopia and it's not perfect but when I got up in there and reached out, did my part many came to meet me there. I think I'll stop there.

I can not imagine there is another school that knows each individual child as well as they do. The school believes in intentionality and authenticity in all that they do and it is a blessing that permeates the community. My children as well as my husband and I are being loved and served each and every day by the staff and head of school. The education they are receiving is top notch while also rooting everything they are taught in Biblical truths in a simple and approachable way. Daily chapel and the invitation to attend anytime make the school even more special. I asked a long time teacher at TCS and who has also taught for many, many years elsewhere if she liked her job. She didn't hesitate to say, it was the hardest job she had ever had but also the BEST most rewarding job she ever had. The administration has high expectations of their teachers from which the students benefit daily and I would guess the teachers do too. It is a cultural of excellence with a foundation in God's word and truths. Come take a tour and see for yourself!!!

In the last year, some of the most involved parents at Eakin pulled up stakes in public education and opted to shell out 10K to escape the increasing physical tensions and gaps as Nashville fails to invest in public education. I digress....so, you'll be paying more for education than you thought you would!! And SBA is a good balance between the crazy expensive USN (20K) and your kid joining either the Bloods or the Crips in 4th grade (I jest....sort of). The school is Catholic, but truly more accepting of other religions than Catholic schools use to be. They have mass on Holy Days and religion class, but often religion class is writing notes to sick school mates or families. The high points of the school are location, curriculum and and administration. The math program is particularly strong and they have opportunities for kids to do advanced work in smaller classes. The school is small and mostly clean. The small footprint makes it hard to have too many large group meetings. Areas that could use attention IMO are gym/health, getting rid of some of the old school teachers and the aftercare program needs an overhaul with some actual activities. Parents are generally pretty involved and the school does a really good job of having a unique identity in spite of the fact that kids come in with Vandy parents from many neighborhoods. They offer buses for a fee and a summer program as well. All in all this is a great school for a fraction of the cost of many other local private schools. The teachers and administration have a real 'can do' attitude and the kids seem to flourish is almost all arenas.

We visited many, many schools before deciding on SBA and we have never regretted our decision to enroll our children. They have many wonderful extra-curricular activities such as art, lego club, boy and girl scouts, cross country, volleyball, swim team and the list goes on. The staff,teachers and curriculum are absolutely stellar. Our children are excited about learning again! Plus, every grade level gets TWO outdoor recesses during the day which my kids love! They have had great transitions to a new school and have made many friends. The parents and staff are welcoming and there is a general sense that they are glad we are there and want our children to excel. If you are in the market for a K-8 school in Nashville, it just doesn't get any better than SBA.

Every teacher and staff member in this place, including the principal, are rock stars.

School counseling support is excellent. It is insanely diverse in every way shape and form, and no matter who you are or where you come from, you will be welcomed into the community here. It is a public school, so it lends itself to the general struggles of public schools everywhere, but I wouldn't want my kids anywhere else.
