The Ensworth School is a private school located on two separate campuses in Nashville, Tennessee.
The original campus, with grades kindergarten (previously referred to as "pre-first") through eighth, opened in 1958 with 152 students. The school opened in a large Tudor-style home; its distinctive architecture became a symbol of the school itself. That facility, since expanded several times, is now known as the Red Gables Campus, and is located at 211 Ensworth Avenue.[1]
In 2002 the school initiated a $60 million capital campaign, with the goal of expanding the school to grade 12. After operating for over 40 years as a K–8 school, Ensworth added a high school in 2004, located on Tennessee State Route 100 adjacent to Edwin Warner Park and known as the Devon Farm Campus.[2] The high school began with grade 9 and added a grade each following year; the school's first graduating class matriculated in 2008.
In 2005, the newly constructed high school earned nationwide honors for architecture from American School & University magazine and the Boston Society of Architects.[3]
A 642-seat theater has recently been completed on the high school campus.[1]
