The Tennessee School for the Blind sits on 86 rolling acres, just a few
miles east of downtown Nashville. The current campus includes a two-story
academic wing (built in 1952), a life skills wing (built in 1992), connecting
gymnasium and pool building, 10 cottages for residential students, a track,
and a large playground with special equipment for visually impaired and
children with multiple disabilities. Approximately half of TSB's students are
bused in from all parts of the state, living in the cottages from Sunday
afternoon until Friday at noon when they return home. Local students ride
school buses from the Nashville Metro area and surrounding counties on a
daily basis. At the close of the 2015-2016 school year, 135 students were
enrolled.
