Intrepid College Prep Schools

Intrepid College Prep is a network of free, public charter schools located in the Antioch area of Greater Nashville. We educate scholars at two campuses: Opportunity Academy Middle School and Independence Academy High School.

Our 5-12 model ensures that scholars have the opportunity to engage in a rigorous, college-preparatory education for eight years prior to their transition to college and the professional opportunities that follow. We are an open-enrollment school, which means that our students do not have to take an entrance test or pay tuition to enroll.

Our Mission: Intrepid College Prep is committed to ensuring our scholars, educators, and families have the opportunity to unlock an unlimited future. By providing rigorous academic instruction and creating powerful relationships amongst our community’s members, we ignite passion, seek knowledge, and inspire the bravery needed to have a profound impact in our world.
