Metro Nashville Public Schools

What is a School of Innovation?

Schools with Infinite Potential Inspiring Students Every Day.

MNPS' Schools of Innovation are elementary, middle, and high schools in all areas of the district that are at pivotal moments in their history. These schools are home to unique programs and targeted support that make them meaningful places to work and learn. They need educators who are committed to continue the hard work of improvements currently under way.

• Warner Elementary School has a compost program implemented with Kroger
• Maplewood High School houses a state-of-the-art automotive shop completely run by students
• Robert Churchwell Elementary showcases local museum exhibits with the help of their student docents

And these schools aren't alone. Each School of Innovation has similar rigorous academic programs that inspire students and create a unique school personality. In the next few years, MNPS' Schools of Innovation are implementing some of the most visionary reform strategies in the nation, and you can be a part of the turnaround efforts at these schools as a family, a community partner, or a school employee.
