About KIPP Nashville Collegiate High

KIPP Nashville Collegiate High School is a free, open-enrollment public charter school educating students of North and East Nashville with a rigorous, college-preparatory program. It was founded in 2014 in response to the growing demand for a high-quality high school that would equip graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills to be truly college-ready by graduation.
