University School of Nashville's Open House is designed for the entire family, and you won’t want to miss the opening programs beginning in the Auditorium.
USN is located at 2000 Edgehill Avenue. Parking lots are accessible from 19th Avenue South and 21st Avenue South. Follow the balloons and signs to the Auditorium.
During Open House for fifth through 12th grades at 10 a.m., prospective students and their parents will hear from Director Vince Durnan, Head of High School Quinton Walker, Head of Middle School Jeff Greenfield, and panels of current students. This short program is preceded by a 30-minute serenade by the High School Jazz Band and will be followed by guided tours.
During Open House for kindergarten through fourth grades at 2 p.m., prospective families will gather in the Auditorium to enjoy a chorus of Lower School students and brief talks by Director Vince Durnan and Head of Lower School Amy Woodson before touring classrooms.
Students in grades 5-8 and their families can take USN Evening Class 702: Mah and Pah Jong and Me to learn to play a board game together while benefiting USN's need-based scholarship endowment.
The Helen Meador Summer International Fellowship funded a summer of professional development in South America for Lower School Naturalist Carrie Riley. Through this profound experience, she said she plans to bring these lessons into her teaching, grounding her voice in wonder, joy, and a commitment to protecting the natural world, which she loves.
The impact of USN’s Art Department is not confined to art studios in the Christine Slayden Tibbott Center. Students often engage with art in ways that transcend traditional classroom learning, such as at the opening reception for artist Yanira Vissepó's “Fantastical Views.”
The Tigers have come back strong after time away on retreats & a holiday weekend. While golf is nearing the end of its season, cross country and mountain biking are still at the beginning. Both teams are heading away to races this weekend. Girls soccer and volleyball are about halfway through their regular season competition, both teams with exciting district wins and more games to be played determining their standings for post season competition.

The Mountain bike team began its 13th season as it almost always does, with anticipation high and mindful of the high heat on the trails on the banks of the Duck River at Chickasaw Trace park outside of Columbia, TN. Over 650 mountain bikers in grades 5-12 from across the state competed at this first race of the NICA-TICL season.
