Story
Founded by a small group of parents, Abintra opened Nashville's first Montessori elementary program to nine elementary students in 1981 as an independent, nonprofit, educational organization.
Abintra's campus sits nestled atop a hill surrounded by 10 wooded acres in West Nashville. Students use multiple gardens, trails, and walk the labyrinth with care. Venture further into our woods and you'll find forts carefully crafted out of logs and sticks by Upper School students, hiking trails shaded by tall trees, and a fully-stocked archery range. Our apiary provides a hands-on beekeeping experience. Students are given daily opportunities to connect with the natural environment. On campus we reduce, reuse, and recycle. From Lower School through Upper School, students compost and recycle. It is a daily practice, part of self-care and self-sufficiency. It is not only a part of our curriculum, it is the way we live with integrity in the world.
Abintra is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, comprised of current and former Abintra parents and alumni and Nashville community members.
