NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The optional schools application process for Metro Nashville Public School's 2021-2022 school year starts Monday, January 25.

Families can choose from 159 open-enrollment public schools available to them throughout the school district.

“We know that for most of our parents and students, our great neighborhood schools are the best option for them,” Director of Schools Adrienne Battle said. “For those who may be looking for additional options, we offer families some great choices to meet the unique individual needs of their students.”

Applications are available online in English, Spanish, Arabic, Burmese, Kurdish and Nepali here. Applying online is the preferred and simplest option. However, applications may be mailed to Office of School Options at 2601 Bransford Avenue, Nashville, TN 37204.
