University School of Nashvile is a private K-12 school located in Nashville, Tennessee. It was founded in 1892 first as Winthrop Model School and later as Peabody Demonstration School, a part of Peabody College intended to demonstrate the operation of a school. While it was Peabody Demonstration School, it became one of the first high schools in Nashville to be desegregated (after Father Ryan). The demonstration school was closed in 1974 when Peabody merged with Vanderbilt University. The students' parents bought the school, and established University School of Nashville. A small school, it has an enrollment of approximately 1000 students. The tuition is $14,000 a year. Famous alumni include Stanford Moore, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, and pianist Gabe Dixon, among others.
