PRIVATE SCHOOL

Currey Ingram Academy

Currey Ingram Academy was founded as Westminster School of Nashville in 1968 by Carol and Bobby Henderson. Their son, Britt, was not succeeding in his school, and Carol and Bobby felt they had exhausted all options for educating him. Administrators, educators, parents and community leaders came together to develop an innovative learning program and started Westminster School of Nashville. Thanks to a gift from Stephanie Currey Ingram and John Rivers Ingram, the school moved to its current campus and became Currey Ingram Academy in 2002. Over the course of more than 50 years, hundreds of students have been able to learn in an environment that promotes their strengths and supports their differences. Our mission is to provide an exemplary PreK-12 day school program and boarding school program for grades 9-12 that empowers students with learning differences to achieve their fullest potential. We settle for nothing less than being a premier educational environment for students with language-based learning challenges, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADHD, executive functioning and processing deficits, mild anxiety disorders, high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and more.
