What Makes Our School Unique?

 

    Harpeth Valley School has played an integral role in the community life of Bellevue since 1939.The continued support of parents, community leaders, and local businesses has helped Harpeth Valley make the transition from its small, rural beginnings to its new role as a K-4 suburban school. The new building, completed in 1996, includes a state-of-the-art media center and lab, art and music rooms, science lab, gymnasium, and serves more than six hundred students.

    Our academic focus is grounded in the district’s mission statement. “Our purpose is to do whatever it takes for all students to acquire the knowledge and skills to become productive, responsible citizens.” The primary goal of the Harpeth Valley faculty and staff is to provide a safe, secure learning environment that challenges all learners, fostering confidence and success for every child.

    We think Harpeth Valley School is a great place to work and learn!
