Every student who finds TOPS arrives with a different story.
Some were bored in classes that moved too slowly. Some struggled to focus in a traditional school environment. Some were high-achieving students looking for the challenge of AP courses and dual enrollment. Others simply needed a school that better fit their lives and goals.
What they found at TOPS was a tuition-free Tennessee public school with local teachers, flexible learning, meaningful academic opportunities, and a proven track record of success.
No matter your student's story, TOPS may be the right fit.
Now accepting applications for grades 6–12.
