Champions in the classroom, on the field, and in life
At Music City Academy we choose the sound path of mind and body.
Music City Academy (MCA) is a high school where students grow in the classroom, on the field, and in life. We use the power of athletics to deliver a rigorous, career-connected education. Every student joins a team, moves every day, and chooses a CTE path in sports, health, or wellness, earning industry credentials along the way.
​
Our name reflects Nashville’s spirit, from Kevin Dyson’s Music City Miracle to Queen Victoria’s praise of the Fisk Jubilee Singers that inspired “Music City.”
The MCA Approach
Who we are
Too many high school students feel disconnected from school—academically, socially, and emotionally.
In fact, only one in four get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity. At Music City Academy, we were built to change that. Rooted in the unifying power of athletics, MCA provides a rigorous, career-connected education that develops the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. We prepare students not just for graduation, but for purposeful futures in college, career, and life.
