Nashville’s public schools mirror our vibrant and diverse community, where every student is known, valued and supported.
We offer rigorous academic programs, like International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement courses and Cambridge International, along with many hands-on learning experiences. Our internationally known Academies of Nashville promote career exploration at our 12 zoned high schools through school-within-a-school small learning communities and hundreds of business and community partnerships.
And strong community and college partnerships provide top opportunities to our students from Pre-K through 12th grade, including dual college credit programs and full-tuition university scholarships and on-campus supports through our University MNPS initiative.
