Completing the application documents is a vital step in your child's journey to joining the Akiva School community, as these forms help us understand your child's unique background, needs, and aspirations. By gathering insights from families and teachers, we ensure a holistic approach to education that celebrates each child’s individuality.

These essential documents not only facilitate the admissions process but also lay the groundwork for a supportive environment where every student can thrive academically and socially. Your participation is key to creating a nurturing community that aligns with our mission to provide a meaningful and enriching Jewish education in Nashville.

The first step in joining the Akiva family is to complete the online admissions application. We look forward to getting to know you and your student!

At Akiva, we believe that, in order to understand and get to know the whole child, we need input from those who know him/her best – his/her family. Please complete this form to submit our Admissions Office.
