From age two through kindergarten, we believe these early years contribute to children’s development of many essential skills that support social competence and creative problem solving, as well as foster a love of learning that endures for a lifetime. The SEED School builds a strong foundation for the youngest minds.

Academics

A Greater Plan

At Lipscomb Academy, we believe that academic and spiritual growth go hand in hand. As an intentionally Christian community, we will work with every student to help them understand how their personal story is part of God’s greater plan. Then we live out that service in the form of worship, service opportunities and mission work throughout the world.

Spiritual Formation

Arts

We incorporate the arts into a balanced curriculum so that students can develop their talents, celebrate acts of creativity, and discover inspiration everywhere.

Athletics

Just as we ask students to engage fully in class and a relationship with Christ, we encourage them to give their all on the field, court, or track.

Together we grow.

Lipscomb Academy families find community, friendship and faith. The feel of a family comes through working side by side to encourage, support and cheer for our children.

Lipscomb Academy is a uniquely warm, welcoming and caring environment. There is a sense of community but also a commitment to students as individuals. The faculty and staff have nurtured my children’s growth with sensitivity and care while challenging their minds and inspiring their spirits.

By taking college classes at Lipscomb University, I was never limited in choices of challenging courses that helped me grow as a student. Since classes were taken in a University classroom with other University students, Vanderbilt accepted those courses, helping me accelerate my Master's degree. Taking college classes in high school as a Lipscomb Academy student opened up opportunities that I would have not otherwise had.

I feel so blessed to have experienced the teachers and opportunities that Lipscomb Academy provided me. My teachers challenged me to push beyond my comfort zone by forcing us to ask tough questions and solve complex problems. Even though this was difficult at times, I always knew this process would equip me with tools necessary for success. And these teachers did not merely give us information; they gave us understanding. In just the first few weeks of college I felt their influence as I am prepared and confident facing new challenges.

Chapel Practicum has impacted me on a spiritual level more than any other class at Lipscomb Academy. It has helped me grow so much. I have learned more about leadership and become more confident in the man and person I will be in the future. Joseph Connor has impacted this school in such a special way. He truly loves what he does.
