Independent & Secular Schools in Hendersonville
4 independent & secular schools in Hendersonville; 2 are on the 2026-27 EFS list and 0 on the ESA list. The Old Hickory Lake city north of Nashville: a Catholic prep school, a Baptist K-12, Montessori and preschool programs, and a Category IV umbrella program that reports nearly 4,000 students to TDOE.
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: Independent schools register for EFS on the same terms as religious ones. A few of the region's largest have not appeared on the 2026-27 registered list, so check before you plan.
