Ensworth is a kindergarten through twelfth grade, coeducational, independent school located on two campuses in Nashville, TN. (Please note the tour will focus on the high school campus only.) Established in 1958 as a K-8 school, Ensworth expanded its program in 2004 to include Grades 9-12 and has a current enrollment of 1,131 students. The Lower/Middle School Campus, known by many as the Red Gables Campus because of its distinctive architecture, was originally a historic family home. The high school campus is situated on 127 acres of farmland bordering one of Tennessee's largest public parks and the Harpeth River. The facilities were designed to foster community and collaboration; faculty offices border student common areas and most classes are held around large, oval Harkness tables, enhancing the student-centered, discussion-based approach to education. Highlights of the campus include the Ingram Arts Center, featuring a state-of-the-art theater, studios, and darkroom; the Natatorium, which hosts a 50-meter competition pool and instructional pool; and the recently added Tennis Center with six indoor courts, eight outdoor courts, and advanced scoring technology. Together, the two campuses provide a full program of opportunities for students in Grades K-12, offering a progressive curriculum that is both traditional and innovative.

The first school in the state to earn accreditation from both SAIS and SACS, Father Ryan High School provides a broad and distinctive curriculum across four different academic levels. Father Ryan offers 26 Advanced Placement courses as well as courses in Chinese and Engineering in addition to a Visual and Performing Arts Department that is home to 37 courses in dance, theatre, choral and band, the largest such department of any private school in Middle Tennessee. Built around its promise that "you will be known...you will be loved" and its mission be an experience of the living Gospel while challenging students to reach their spiritual, academic and personal potential as a Catholic diocesan school, Father Ryan's 925 students are active in a variety of Campus Ministry programs. The campus celebrates this history and heritage. Our five main buildings are focused around our Chapel of St. James, honoring former bishop and alumnus James Niedergeses '37, and the buildings themselves not only honor donors by name but also incorporate historical elements and artifacts into building design and construction. Through this physical expression and our academic and operational activities, we continue to honor our tradition of Faith, Knowledge and Service.
