  • Who We Serve

    WHO WE SERVE
    At Currey Ingram Academy, we understand that students learn differently so we must teach differently. Our teachers use evidence-based instructional approaches and present material through an individualized, structured and multisensory approach (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) to best meet the instructional and learning needs of our students. Currey Ingram Academy accepts students compatible with the mission of the school; however, within the residential program, students will be accepted using additional criteria that aligns with a 24/7 environment. 
     
    Our Upper School program serves students in 9th through 12th grades with average to superior intelligence with learning differences, particularly in reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), math (dyscalculia), memory (long-term and working), processing speed, ADHD, executive functioning challenges or other learning differences that prevent academically capable students from achieving success in a traditional educational setting.

  • Why Nashville, Tennessee?

    Currey Ingram Academy sits on 83 acres in Williamson County. This serene setting surrounded by rolling hills and a creek is the perfect setting to learn. Nashville, one of the fastest-growing cities in America, is just minutes away and offers live music, professional sports teams, 108 parks and 19 greenways. In addition, with three major interstates feeding into the Nashville area (I-65, I-40 and I-24) and an international airport, we are conveniently located for families.

    "Nearing the end of his first semester in the program, our son’s grades have improved by an entire letter grade across the board … We knew he would gain significant executive function skills for college life, but we did not realize how intentional the faculty and programming of the ResLife Program would be."
