I am in a lot of the fine arts at Lipscomb Academy. This includes band chorus lessons with the music Academy and LAcapella which is our schools a cappella group. Our required director is amazing. He is also the fine arts director at Lipscomb Academy since he has been hired 41 years ago every single year the choir has gotten both superior in site reading and prepared pieces at the state and regional adjudication festival. Is somebody that has multiple siblings within athletics I can say it is good. It's a great environment for the child and they have fun while building character and learning how to be structured in a routine. Also it brings them closer to God overall Lipscomb Academy is a great school and I am so grateful to be here. You belong.

I remember crying to my mom in 10th grade because there was too much going on at home, school, and...

It’s not the Christian environment it once was when it was David Lipscomb. Many of the amazing teachers that made this school great have transferred or have been forced out. I regret ever sending my children there.

The teachers and students are very bad. I did not feel welcome at this school. The administration was poor at responding to my friend and I being sexual harassed at this school. Please do not send your child here if you want to have your child free from sexual talk.
