Extended Learning

Extended Learning for All Students

Extended Learning Programs is the place to be for all things out of school time (OST).  Whether before school, afterschool or summer, the learning never stops.

Our district provides high quality experiences during out of school time. In addition, we provide resources, training, and assistance to community partners who serve MNPS students that attend before and after school programs across the district.

On these pages, you will find information regarding:

 

Before and Afterschool Programs

MNPS partners with external providers who deliver out-of-school-time programs. Many organizations offer programming at MNPS schools, while some also offer programs for students at locations in the local community. Please visit the city of Nashville's Out-of-School Program Locator website to find a program near you. The OST Program Locator is managed by Nashville After Zone Alliance (NAZA). You can also call your child's school to learn if they offer any programs for students before and/or after regular school hours.
