Spring Hill Christian Academy (SHC) serves K-8 children and families in Spring Hill, Thompson's Station and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area. SHC is a private classical Christian school committed to academic excellence from a Biblical worldview, with small class sizes and a family-like learning environment. Our mission is to support parents in raising young men and women who can reason, discern and apply Truth as the Lord leads them to reach their fullest potential.

We do this through Scripture, the time-proven tools of classical education, small class sizes and a family-like community. One thing to check: the About section says K-8, while your current SHCA positioning frames the school as preschool through 8th grade. You may want to align those.
