Dear Prospective Families:
Known throughout Nashville for its enriched academic program and excellence in the tradition of the
Sisters of Mercy, Saint Bernard Academy is the school of choice for families who value an education that
develops children of strong moral character and enables them to achieve their potential as scholars,
artists, and athletes.
Saint Bernard Academy is committed to the ongoing development of a diverse student body representing
a variety of ethnic, cultural, and economic backgrounds.
The decision of which school to attend is an important one, and we are excited that you are considering
Saint Bernard Academy as a possibility for your child. As you learn more about SBA and think about
your child”s education, consider these two questions:
- What makes a school the right fit for a child?
We believe that the answer to this question lies within a
community that strives to provide diverse challenges and unique opportunities for personal growth
and development. It is our goal to foster an environment that is conducive to creativity, exploration,
diversity and service.
- What child is the right fit for SBA’s environment?
To make the most of this opportunity, we seek
students who are ready and willing to contribute to our dynamic learning experience. As such, our
decisions are largely based on how well a child will benefit from our program as well as on how the
child can contribute to our community.
We view the admissions process as an opportunity not only to get to know you as a family but also to
introduce you to our students and faculty and to provide as much information as possible about what our
community has to offer. We like to get to know our prospective students and families, and we hope that
you will make the same effort to get to know us.
Detailed information about the admissions process can be found on this website. Please do not hesitate to
contact our office if you have any questions or concerns, and we thank you for your interest in Saint
Bernard Academy.
Sincerely,
Sister Mary Jeannine Curley, R.S.M.
Admissions Director
