Why Edison

We Embrace Differences

The Edison School (TES) is a private co-educational day school for children in grades K-12 that provides an environment where every student’s differences and learning challenges are embraced, understood, and met, using a whole child approach.  TES is a place where we celebrate and develop a child’s strengths, as well as address their area of difficulty. It’s a safe place where each young learner is treated and educated as an individual – in an atmosphere of care and respect that helps our students reach their full potential.

TES gives families in Sumner, Wilson, Robertson, Smith, and Davidson Counties easier access to student-centered learning built around the specific needs of each student.
Learning differences are often observed and diagnosed before formal education begins, so that is why our program begins in Kindergarten, offering a greater opportunity for success from the very first day of school. However, students may enter our program at any grade level.
 

Our Mission

The Edison School creates a culture where differences are celebrated,  

and every student is recognized and valued.

Our Approach

The Edison School’s learning environment caters to students who learn uniquely. Many of our students come from different academic backgrounds and require individualized classroom accommodations and modifications. Students are grouped and taught at their learning level, regardless of their grade level. This creates opportunities for each student to build confidence and success in reaching their potential.
