McGavock Cluster has Tennessee’s first K-12 Cambridge Continuum
Nashville, Tennessee - Increasing the rigorous academic offerings in the McGavock cluster, Metro Schools is proud to announce the expansion of the Cambridge program into Hermitage Elementary School, completing Tennessee’s first K-12 Cambridge continuum.
The Cambridge International Examinations program is affiliated with the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and offers courses comparable in rigor to British A levels and the International Baccalaureate Programme. It is already in place at McGavock High School and its feeder school Donelson Middle Prep. By expanding into the elementary feeder school, students of all grades in the Donelson area can experience an internationally developed curriculum that fosters enquiry, problem solving and next-level thinking.
“By starting Cambridge Primary in kindergarten here at Hermitage, students can move from year to year and school to school with consistently challenging course work that better prepares them for what’s next,” said Hermitage principal Kellee Akers. “We’re thrilled to give our current students this opportunity and to provide families a school choice option that offers a proven, rigorous, international curriculum. We know the Cambridge International program will make Hermitage Elementary and the McGavock cluster even stronger in the future.”
