High Road School of Nashville

At Benton Hall Academy in Nashville, we serve students with learning differences in grades 3 through 12. We tailor instruction to each student and use non-traditional learning opportunities to support academic, social, behavioral, and emotional growth. Our program helps students prepare for what comes next, including transitions to higher education or the workplace. Families exploring specialized education can review our admissions information and speak with the school about whether Benton Hall is a suitable setting for their student.

We are a special day school for students whose learning differences require more support than a less restrictive setting can provide. Our standards-based programs are individualized and differentiated around each student’s strengths and interests. K–8 students study English language arts, math, science, and social studies, with rotating related-arts classes in art, computer science or library, music, and physical education. Some split time between Cora Howe and their zoned school. Older students rotate through six classes; some take part in work-based learning with community partners or split time with their zoned school.

We are a nonprofit therapeutic day school serving grades 1–12. Our individualized program supports students with emotional, psychiatric, learning, intellectual, and developmental needs, including autism and dual diagnoses. Counseling, social work, behavior support, and transition-readiness instruction are part of the school program.
