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.
George Washington Academy is building more than a campus—we are building a school community where children are known, families are valued, and academic excellence and character go hand in hand.
As GWA grows, our vision is to create a permanent campus designed around the needs of our students: inspiring classrooms, spaces for the arts and athletics, and places where students, teachers, and families can learn, gather, and grow together.
Our partners aren’t simply helping us build a school. They’re helping us build a place where generations of children can thrive.
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.
Thank you to our sponsors for supporting the future of our kids at George Washington Academy.
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.
