Because of the spread of the omicron variant, we have removed cooking classes from the catalog and are focusing on classes where participants can remain masked. All instructors and participants are required to be vaccinated to participate. Look for the catalog to launch Thursday, February 3, and register beginning Wednesday, February 9.
Given the rise of COVID-19 cases, University School of Nashville again has postponed the start of Evening Classes. Please visit eveningclasses.org on Thursday, February 3 to view the course catalog or email eveningclasses@usn.org to be added to our email list & receive updates directly in your inbox.
USN Evening Classes are a collection of fun, educational, and enriching opportunities to learn from local professionals, entrepreneurs, and restaurateurs as well as USN faculty and staff. These one-day workshops, tours, and one-on-one instruction are for the greater Nashville community with class fees covering materials and benefiting USN's financial aid endowment. Registration opens Wednesday, February 9, and classes begin Thursday, February 24.
Thank you for your patience as we look to balance our desire to hold in-person learning opportunities with the complications the omicron variant brings. We appreciate your continued support of this program to add to our need-based scholarship endowment for K-12 students.

With trail names like Megawatt, Electric Avenue, High Voltage and Livewire, the mountain bike team knew it was time to pedal out some extra watts for their NICA/TICL State Championships at Raccoon Mountain, and survive the technical trails above Chattanooga full of boulder gardens, rock drops and sandy rubble.
Winged Deer Park and trails in Johnson City hosted our 4th race on Sunday October 11th, and despite a bit of hurricane outwash winds and showers - and reduced team numbers due to fall break and distance from Nashville - our racers utilized all available skills and speed which helped “wing" Sophomore Claire Dehner to a 4th place podium spot, our first podium appearance and medal for the season.
Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
