I could not be happier with Our Savior! I have 2 boys that attend and the attention that our family has been given, from both the teachers and administration, has been second to none! The school is is so advanced in technology offering personal laptops to all students, second gtrade on up and smart boarnds in every classroom! Academically my boys are challenged and continue to hit heights I never dreamed possible at their age, and spiritually, their lives have been so enriched! Could not recommend this school more!

This is our second year at OSLA. Our family came from the public school sector. We started at OSLA when my daughter was in 5th grade. The class sizes are small, the teachers are able to give that one on one attention, and my daughter soared educationally in the small class environment. We attend another chruch, and the academy (school) is very accepting of our family. The principal did a huge segment on bullying, and the responsibilities the staff, and parents have to make sure our school stays bully free. I am not aware of any incidences where bullying has ever been an issue at the school. We feel very fortunate to have our child at this school. I am very particular when it comes to my daughter, and her education. We looked at several school that were more expensive, but those schools couldn't offer that personal attention that every student needs.

I have three kids that are currently attending OSLA. All 3 love the school and as parents we couldn't be happier with OSLA. They have Smartboards in every classroom, laptops with 2nd graders on up, and have been ahead of the curve technologically the whole time we have been there. The teaching staff has never been stronger and the church has been incredibly supportive of the Academy. What are you waiting for? Get your kids enrolled!

OSLA has proven itself to be a loving, nurturing, Christian environment with top-notch teachers and curriculum. Our daughter has shown remarkable growth in both personal character development and in academic success. It truly is Nashville's best-kept secret! We love it!

I am increasingly amazed by the quality of education that my two children are receiving at OSLA. The teachers are so caring and the small class sizes have helped my kids excel in their studies. This school is definitely the best kept secret in Nashville.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
