Choose a School Outside your Neighborhood Zone
To enroll your child in a school outside your school zone, you will have to submit an application. Only schools that participate in the Optional Application program are eligible to have students from other zones attend. School bus transportation is not provided.
- You can check availability and submit an application for an optional school during the annual application process, held each spring. Families who are new to MNPS can apply year-round to schools that have available space.
- Parents of incoming kindergarteners, please note, if you are choosing a school outside your zone you will need to use the school options process and also register for school during the K-kickoff period.
Additionally, Davidson County has several charter schools available for students at all grade levels. You can learn more about each school by visiting its website. Check the schools list for charter options.
