At St. Bernard Academy, we believe families should not have to choose between academic excellence and the values-based education they want for their children. As a leading JK–8 Catholic school in Nashville, SBA provides a rigorous academic experience paired with intentional character formation rooted in the Sisters of Mercy tradition.
Our approach to whole-child education extends beyond the classroom and is grounded in faith, compassion, critical thinking, leadership, and respect for the dignity of every person. Our Core Values serve as the hallmarks of a Mercy Education, while our Profile of the Graduate provides a clear framework for how students develop these qualities throughout their academic journey.
The result is a St. Bernard Academy graduate who is prepared to think deeply, lead courageously, serve others with purpose, and thrive in high school and beyond.
Grades: PreK - 8; Enrollment: 390; Established: 1866
