St. Pius X Classical Academy is a Catholic parochial academy serving grades PreK3 - 8 that is fully approved by the State of Tennessee and fully accredited by the office of the Diocesan Catholic Schools of Nashville and by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The mission of the academy is to manifest God's love in the world through a commitment to the spiritual, moral, emotional, and intellectual formation of its students through our use of a Catholic classical curriculum. Students are taught "To renew all things in Christ by living, loving, and learning in the Lord.".
The primary goal of St. Pius X Classical Academy is to provide a
Christ-centered atmosphere in which students may
grow in truth and love. The academy's philosophy
stems from basic Catholic teaching as it is
applied to the process of education. Its program is directed toward
the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical growth of each
student taught through the paradigm of Catholic classical
education. In using the classical model of education, the
academy recognizes three stages of learning: the Grammar Stage
(K-4th grade), the Logic Stage (5th - 8th grade), and the
subsequent Rhetoric Stage (9th grade and beyond), wherein
students are taught using the methods most suited to their
cognitive faculties at any given stage.
The classical curriculum of the academy is also
cross-curricular, using a four-year history cycle
as a guide to content in a variety of classes from literature and
history to art and music. Likewise, the academy's program contains
both formal Latin and Logic
classes, as well as a formal study of the Arts,
both in terms of appreciation and expression. In offering
classes that span the breadth of the human experience, St.
Pius X Classical Academy strives to impart a Christian education
that will enable students to take their places as
well-rounded Christian citizens and will prepare them
to live and spread the Gospel.
Furthermore, St. Pius X Classical Academy, along with the Catholic
Church, recognizes the parents as the primary
educators of their children. Therefore, the
collaborative relationship between school and home
life is nurtured and fostered. Our diverse
community of learners is also a family in
itself, with a social structure of
service and love toward one
another and the greater Nashville community. As an academy
family, we walk with Jesus Christ in accordance with the teachings
and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.
