HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED IN COLLEGE AND LIFE.
With sustained excellence, LEAD provides college-preparatory education for all students in our care, from middle school through 12th grade.
“I choose to invest my time and dollars in LEAD because it matters that ALL children in Nashville are given the opportunity to have a great education to get them ready for life. By donating, my dollars go where it matters, toward quality teachers, a leadership team I believe in, and an environment of respect and responsibility.”

At LEAD, we offer free college preparatory education to all Nashville students no matter their background or zip code. LEAD is the only Charter Operator in Nashville that has been tapped by both the state and district as a partner to turn around low-performing zoned neighborhood schools.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to follow their dreams. We rely on donations from our generous community to provide extra support to our teachers and students that go above and beyond what students would receive in a traditional school.
