Brentwood Academy is in Brentwood, about 25 minutes to the south of central Nashville.

It has a strongly Christian orientation, though it is not affiliated with any one denomination.

Their mission statement says: "our expressed priority is nurturing a strong academic work ethic to develop life-long learners."

Brentwood has a solid academic program with a good range of options. Their big draw, however, is their football reputation and world class training facilities. If your child is into sports, then Brentwood Academy would probably be a good choice for a rounded education. 

Like Father Ryan, though, the school does not offer a lot of diversity in their student population, and may not be the best choice if your child needs to develop talents in other areas.
