“Joy and learning must co-exist!”

— S. Brown

We are a family-focused microschool in Nashville that helps scholars build community.

We work closely with families to ensure your child receives individualized attention in our small classroom setting with a 12:1 student-teacher ratio. Our students work at their own pace, guided by their interests, empowering them to excel without the pressures or limitations of a traditional classroom. This is where students keep their love for learning and become active leaders in their community through student-led outreach.

Change Makers Academy combines the flexibility and self-paced atmosphere of homeschooling with the social and hands-on benefits of traditional schools. Our approach nurtures each child’s unique strengths through joyful, personalized learning experiences rooted in Christian values, while fostering meaningful community and life skills.
