Academics That Challenge Students to Grow

KIPP Antioch Global High believes students should be cognitively challenged across every subject area, every day.

Students take on rigorous academic work designed to prepare them for competitive postsecondary opportunities. The goal is to develop more than subject knowledge. Students are encouraged to think critically, communicate their ideas, engage with different perspectives, and develop the independence they’ll need after high school.

Across KIPP Nashville high schools, students engage in coursework centered around meaningful discussion and have access to advanced learning opportunities. The network’s high school program includes AP offerings in areas such as computer science, calculus, literature, statistics, and world history, although specific courses available at KIPP Antioch Global High may vary by year.

A Well-Rounded High School Experience

Academic achievement is important, but high school should give students opportunities to develop beyond their core classes, too.

At KIPP Antioch Global High, every student is expected to engage with at least one elective or extracurricular activity each year. The school is committed to giving students access to athletics, fine arts, and other experiences that help them explore their interests and talents.

These opportunities can help students:

  • Discover new interests and abilities
  • Build relationships with peers and staff
  • Develop teamwork and leadership skills
  • Express themselves creatively
  • Become more connected to their school community

Specific electives, teams, arts programs, and extracurricular activities may change from year to year. Families should ask about current offerings when visiting the campus.

Building Skills for Life Beyond the Classroom

Preparing for the future also means developing practical skills students can use beyond high school.

KIPP Antioch Global High has identified financial literacy and digital literacy as important parts of its educational commitments. The school’s vision is for graduates to understand foundational financial concepts such as personal financial management, budgeting, and investing while also developing the skills needed to find, evaluate, create, and communicate with digital content.

These skills complement students’ academic preparation and can help them become more confident as they begin navigating college, careers, finances, technology, and greater independence.

  • A Community Where Students Can Belong
