Thank you for your interest in Clarksville Academy.

Clarksville Academy offers a broad and varied college preparatory program.  From Pre Kindergarten through grade 12, our students gain extensive academic, artistic, athletic, and leadership skills. Emphasis is placed on helping students grow to be confident, independent young people with strong morals.  First and foremost, the students are the focal point of everything that occurs here.   Developing a love for learning is at the heart of a Clarksville Academy education.

Our exceptional faculty has a true sense of commitment to our students in preparing them with the skills they need for college and for life.  They care about the student’s welfare, their growth, and their success as lifelong learners.  Strong emphasis is placed on communication between the student, the parents, and the teacher.  It is recognized that without this three cornered relationship the chance for student success is not as strong.

Because Clarksville Academy is a PK-12 independent school, opportunities are provided for older and younger students to work together in shared learning experiences.  Students, parents, and teachers consistently comment on the warmth and caring that fills our campus because of the relationships that develop across the grades.  Younger students have time to interact with exemplary role models while students in upper grades gain the responsibility that comes with admiration and respect.

I know that making the determination about which school will be the best for your child is extremely important.  I hope that these web pages will provide you an opportunity to explore the various aspects of our school – though I believe that only an actual visit to our campus will allow you to fully appreciate what Clarksville Academy offers.  Clarksville Academy is a special place.  I invite you to visit and experience us for yourself.
