A School of Thought & Thoughtfulness
We are a K-4 school in the Metro Nashville Public School District with around 600 students. Located in Green Hills, we are a part of the Hillsboro cluster. Our students, educators, and families strive for the very best, and the students' performance reflects that dedication. Julia Green offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP) as an authorized International Baccalaureate World School. Our parental involvement and support are phenomenal and vital to the success of our school. The PTO meets monthly and parents serve on each school committee. The teachers, parents, and members of the community join hands to support our most important natural resource, our children.
