PBL blends content mastery, meaningful work, and personal connection to create powerful learning experiences, in terms of both academic achievement and students’ personal growth:
At GWA School, our students will be in classes that combine multiple grade levels. This nontraditional format groups students across different ages together in the classroom. Research shows that when compared to traditional grade-specific classrooms, students taught in a multi-age setting tend to exceed academic and social expectations. By exposing learners to peers both older and younger than themselves, multi-age classrooms foster collaboration, leadership development, and mentoring relationships that benefit students.
At George Washington Academy, students in grades Kindergarten-12th receive a classical education rooted in the Trivium, with a focus on literature, history, philosophy, math, and science. Core instruction in Latin, logic, and rhetoric, alongside the arts, fosters critical thinking, clear communication, and strong moral character, preparing students for success in high school, college, and beyond.
We seek $2,000,000 million in funding to purchase land, build state-of-the-art facilities, and launch our school, set to open in Williamson County, Franklin, TN.
GWA will stand out as the premier choice for parents in the region seeking a classical, rigorous, and values-driven education for their children.
Classical education has led students across the country to excel in academics, leadership, and ethical reasoning. We will emulate this success at GWA, creating lifelong learners and community leaders.
Williamson County and surrounding areas are growing rapidly, and the demand for an alternative to traditional public and secular private schools is increasing. GWA will provide a unique educational option focused on academic excellence and character development.

Disclaimer: GWA is working to complete the category V private school application process for the 2026-27 school year. Presently, to satisfy the compulsory attendance law in the state of Tennessee, parents who want to register with GWA are required to enroll their student in an approved home school option. Parents may select independent home school by registering with their local school district or choose to enroll in an umbrella home school program, such as Home Life Academy. GWA will guide families through this process.
