Montgomery Bell Academy

Montgomery Bell Academy, a day school for boys in grades 7-12, has been educating young men in the greater Nashville area since 1867. The school seeks to offer its students an exemplary college preparatory experience, assisting them to become gentlemen, scholars, athletes, and young men of wisdom and moral integrity who will make significant contributions to society. The campus, located on 37 acres in West Nashville, boasts an impressive physical plant comprised of nine buildings and playing fields, augmented by an additional eight acres of fields nearby. The school also owns and is developing 160 acres near McMinnville. More than bricks, mortar and fields, though, the school is a community of caring and professional faculty, industrious and talented students, involved and supportive parents, and loyal and committed alumni. The philosophy of Montgomery Bell Academy is rooted in its motto, Fortitudo per Scientiam (Strength through Knowledge).
