Philosophy: The Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools recognizes the importance of providing a quality educational program for all students, regardless of English proficiency or cultural background. We strive to ensure that our Limited English Proficient students attain English proficiency in all areas of language, develop high levels of academic achievement, and meet the same academic achievement standards as all children are expected to meet. By providing meaningful language learning in a student-centered, accepting environment, our Limited English Proficient students are empowered with the tools necessary to become a vital part of our culturally diverse community.
