Christian Schools in South Nashville, Antioch & Oak Hill
8 christian schools in South Nashville, Antioch & Oak Hill; 4 are on the 2026-27 EFS list and 3 on the ESA list. From Melrose and Oak Hill down to Antioch: Father Ryan and Lipscomb Academy, a Coptic Orthodox academy, Church of Christ and non-denominational K-12 schools, and a school for learning differences.
Where this comes from. School details merge the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24) with the Tennessee Department of Education's 2026-27 Non-Public Schools Directory (updated October 5, 2026), its EFS registered-school list (updated August 24, 2026) and its Middle Tennessee ESA list (updated September 24, 2026), all retrieved October 28, 2026. Tuition is not reported to the state, so confirm it with the school.
Funding note: Whether a Christian school can take state money depends on its approval category: Category I, II and III schools can register for EFS; Category IV church-related schools cannot.
