About Lead Academy

There is a public charter high school in Nashville, Tennessee called Lead Academy. This school is for kids in grades 9 through 12. We put a lot of effort into getting them ready for college and their jobs after that. We want them to do well in school, so we make sure that each student gets a learning plan that is just right for them. Our full program at Lead Academy includes all the main school subjects, as well as special classes for careers and technical skills, and extra activities to get students ready for college and their future. The school really wants each student to do their best, so they keep classes small, pay attention to each student, and give them a lot of help. Lead Academy is a public charter school, which means that both the state and the local governments pay for it. Students in Tennessee must pass SAT tests and meet all other academic requirements in order to graduate. They have a very supportive environment, and there are many chances to improve your leadership and other skills.
