== History ==
School desegregation had gotten off to a quick start in nearby Nashville in 1957, then slowed. The Nashville Plan for grade-a-year public school desegregation had been declared illegal in 1968.<ref name="eger2009">{{cite web |last1=Egerton |first1=John |title=Walking into History: The Beginning of School Desegregation in Nashville |url=https://southernspaces.org/2009/walking-history-beginning-school-desegregation-nashville |publisher=Southern Spaces |access-date=December 18, 2018 |date=May 5, 2009}}</ref> A 1969 court decision mandated local public schools to be completed for the 1970–71 school year. A group of Clarksville parents met for the first time on November 14, 1969, to organize a new school for the area. Clarksville Academy opened August 31, 1970, for classes in grades one through nine.

The campus expanded, adding four new buildings and a nearby sports complex in the year 2007.

In August 2008, Clarksville Academy installed [[ActivClassrooms]]s in a majority of the rooms to allow interactive learning with the students.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.clarksvilleacademy.com/Technology/Clarksville_PrometheanRelease.pdf|access-date=January 7, 2009|title=Clarksville Academy Commits to Promethean Technology on Every Grade Level}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>

In August 2013, Clarksville Academy instituted its 1:1 technology program where each student has a device. All elementary school and middle students have an Apple iPad. All high school students have an Apple MacBook. Each instructor has both an Apple iPad and MacBook and each classroom is equipped with an Apple TV.
