Our School

About Our School

Antioch High School is home to approximately 2,000 students, but the learning experience provided here matches that of a smaller, community school. Our mission is to create a learning environment structured around small learning communities that enhance personal growth and develop well-prepared graduates.

Our nationally recognized career Academies of Nashville bring life to our mission by preparing our students for post-secondary opportunities. All of our Academies have reached model status. Our Freshman Academy helps ease the transition between middle school and high school, while 10th- through 12th-grade students have access to real-world learning opportunities, training and certifications through the Tennessee Credit Union Academy of Business and Finance; Academy of Engineering and Automotive Technology; Academy of Teaching and Service; and Academy of Hospitality and Marketing.

Outside of our Academies, we offer many academic programs focused on post-secondary success, including honors, International Baccalaureate, college prep and dual credit courses. Antioch High School is a STEM school, meaning our curriculum places a focus on science, technology, engineering and math. In March 2016, we became the first high school in Tennessee declared an AVID (Advancement through Individual Determination) Demonstration School.

Collaboration with Stanford University

Antioch students can take a dual enrollment course offered by Stanford University to learn the basics of computer science, along with coding
and programming.

The program was recently featured in the Tennessean.

"Not only are they the first cohort to tackle the course, called Introduction to Computer Science, they’re also the firstever high schoolers in Tennessee to take any Stanford course. If they meet all the requirements for the course, they can transfer the credit either to Stanford or another college or university if they decide to pursue higher education."
