Located on 83 acres, students excel in STEM, the gifted program, and the award-winning math, reading, and writing programs. Student life includes opportunities with art, athletics, band, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, clubs, community service, dance, forensics, languages, library, music, religious observances, student council, and tending to the school's Beyond the Brook Farm.

Excellence on every level, Overbrook School is a gem in the heart of Nashville.

We feel very blessed to be at Overbrook. My children are in an environment where they are being prepared academically, while still given the opportunity to be a kid. I can not say enough good things about this very special school! Overbrook center is God, and everything flows from this. The spirit of wonder in learning and the virtues are an everyday natural part of campus life. We love the small class sizes, Catholic identity, families, and faculty and staff at this sweet school. The presence of the Dominican Sisters is integral to the Catholic identity of the school. Everything they do radiates joy and a love of God. Children are exposed a wide range of academic disciplines, including an integrated STEM curriculum that spans many subjects and includes hands-on experience in the school garden that also includes chickens and sheep. We could not be more pleased with the educational experience, faith formation, and cultures our children are exposed to at Overbrook School.
