Jewish, Islamic & Other Faith Schools in West End, Belle Meade, Green Hills & Bellevue
3 jewish, islamic & other faith schools in West End, Belle Meade, Green Hills & Bellevue; 3 are on the 2026-27 EFS list and 3 on the ESA list. Nashville's west side holds the county's densest run of independent day schools and long-established parish campuses, from the Hillsboro Pike corridor out to Bellevue.
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: Faith tradition has no bearing on eligibility; several of these schools are both EFS-registered and on the ESA list for Metro Nashville families.
