History
Our Savior Lutheran Academy (OSLA) is a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving students in preschool through eighth grade. The school is affiliated with Our Savior Lutheran Church, which is a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
In September 1996, the church opened a daycare for preschool-age children. As the daycare became more academically focused, it evolved into a preschool with extended care.
In August 2001, the lower school program was founded, and the first kindergarten class matriculated. Ten years later, in May 2011, the first eighth grade graduation was held. The church continues to provide both prayerful and financial support of the academy.
Faculty
OSLA’s faculty is both experienced and dedicated, bringing a combined average of 16 years of teaching experience to the classroom. One-third of the full-time faculty has advanced degrees in education. Each teacher has a professional plan to focus on individual skill development as well as a personal dedication to continually strengthen the school’s overall academic program.
Student Body
A majority of the OSLA student body resides in Southern Davidson and Northern Williamson counties. OSLA parents are those in search of a highly academic and Christ-centered school for their children. One-third of OSLA students are members of Our Savior Lutheran Church; the remaining two-thirds are members at other area churches or are looking for a church home.

Technology

Our lower school students (K-5th) are able to use netbooks to enhance their school experience. When students enter our middle school in sixth grade, they are assigned a netbook. Upon eighth graduation, the netbook becomes the property of the OSLA graduate.
