Charged With Purpose
Taking charge of our future! Every day we work to do just that by building future leaders and innovators in Nashville-and beyond. Our parents play an important role in this and are often involved in decision-making committees and provide many valuable suggestions about how we may better serve our community and students. Our parents plus our friendly faculty and staff all work together to make sure each student enjoys and gets the best out of their Edison educational experience.
At Edison, we practice blended learning, meaning traditional classroom instruction is blended with digitally administered lessons. Extra academic attention and tutoring are also offered on a daily basis, both during and after school. We also offer the Encore program for gifted students.
Once the school day ends, students can choose from several extracurricular activities, a few of which Edison is known for: Our debate team's poise and preparedness for their meets is always a delight, as is our choir that performs throughout the year-including one full-length play at the close of each school year. Students also can participate in our Student Government Association, join the yearbook team or learn to act in our drama club.
Our support services are strong. Aftercare is provided by YMCA Fun Company, and our Clothing Closet helps provide school uniforms to families who need assistance. Once again, we also have to mention our parents who help us every single day. There are always new opportunities for parents to become involved as volunteers in the classroom, office or library. Our fathers can participate in Dads of Great Students (D.O.G.S) and volunteer their time for one day throughout the year to help teachers by working with flashcards, reading to students-even helping in the cafeteria during lunch.
