Clarksville Academy is a pre-kindergarten through grade twelve, college-preparatory school. Our mission is to build lives of purpose through tradition, academic excellence, and enduring connection.
– Clarksville Academy Mission Statement
Clarksville Academy strives to provide a well-rounded educational experience and to help young men and women achieve their full potential in all facets of life. A low teacher-student ratio provides an opportunity to individualize each student’s education. With a focus on technology and tradition, the Apple 1:1 program gives each student the ability to use technology to reach the next level of learning. At the same time, teachers keep traditional basics such as cursive writing. CA students are not only successful in the classroom, but they are athletes, artists, and leaders.

“As a CA student from Pre-K through 12th grade, I enjoyed opportunities to travel the world, perform and compete in Fine Arts, and experienced hands-on learning at museums, space stations, and parks- every year was a fun adventure! The highlights of my time at CA were the teachers, admin, and staff that created a comfortable, family-like learning environment. It was an easy decision to enroll both of my children at Clarksville Academy- I have full confidence that they will have similar experiences that I was fortunate to have! ” Halley Family
Admissions Process – Step-by-Step
Step 1 – Visit our Campus
A visit to Clarksville Academy is an important part of deciding whether a CA education is right for your child. Initially, you will notice the beauty of our campus. What makes a more lasting impression, however, is the sense of purpose and joy you will observe as students live and learn throughout the campus. Click here to get started.
Step 2 – Complete the Application
Following your campus tour, the application portal will be open. Complete the admissions application and submit the $120 non-refundable application fee. As part of the application process, please provide an email address of a current or recent teacher who can complete the New Student Letter of Recommendation. By completing the application, you are granting CA the right to request your official transcripts from your current school.
Step 3 –Independent School Entrance Exam
Every student is required to complete an entrance exam. For grades Pre-K through 1, this is a more interactive testing process. Students in grades 2-12 will take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). The screening consists of an online assessment test and a written essay. Prior to the screening process, families will receive comprehensive test preparation materials. Following the test, regardless of admission decision, families will receive a detailed analysis of their child’s test results through the ISEE parent portal. Each family will meet with their Divisional Head of School for a personal interview.
Step 4 – Shadow Day
A student shadow day visit is an excellent opportunity for prospective students to experience, first hand, what Clarksville Academy has to offer. The goal of the shadow day is to simply allow students to experience a day at CA to get a better understanding of our programs and curriculum. Students will be partnered with a CA student with similar interests and “shadow” them through a typical school day. Students who are shadowing will follow a regular class schedule with students of their same grade level.
Step 5 – The Admissions Decision
We feel that a prompt decision on admittance to Clarksville Academy is very important. Families will receive notice of their official admission decision via email.
Once admitted, you will receive an electronic enrollment contract. Upon completion of this contract, you are enrolled and now financially obligated for the applied school year. Your enrollment is continuous through graduation, unless a written opt-out is received during the stated yearly time period.
