Families in Nashville have options when it comes to public school, and those options aren’t limited to where you live. In addition to traditional zoned schools, there are optional schools located across Davidson County that families can apply to attend.
One of these options is public charter schools, which are operated independently by nonprofits and have the flexibility to design their school environment to best meet the needs of the specific students they serve. And there are no special requirements, like test scores, to get into a charter school.
To help families explore the different public charter school options in Nashville, the Nashville Charter Collaborative created a new resource, the Charter School Guide. This tool includes detailed and up-to-date information about what each charter school in Nashville offers, as well as how and when to apply.
It is our hope that this guide is useful to parents and families in finding the best public school for their children.
