WHO WE ARE

Intrepid College Prep is a network of free, college‑preparatory public charter schools located in the Antioch area of Greater Nashville, Tennessee. We educate scholars at two campuses:
Opportunity Academy Middle School and Independence Academy High School. Our 5‑12 model ensures 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 scholars do not have to take an entrance test or pay tuition to enroll.

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 among our community’s members, we ignite passion, seek knowledge, and inspire the bravery needed to have a profound impact in our world.

Ignite Passion, Seek Knowledge, Inspire Bravery.

You believe each student, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, religion, or immigration status, is deserving of an excellent education and capable of achieving it.
