Murrell at Glenn School

The Murrell School, located in the 12th Avenue South area of Nashville, is a specialized educational facility within the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) district. It is uniquely structured as a therapeutic school designed to serve students in grades K–12 who require intensive social, emotional, and behavioral support. By providing a highly structured environment, the school focuses on helping students who have struggled in traditional classroom settings to develop the coping skills and behavioral strategies necessary for academic success.

The school’s curriculum is centered on a "wraparound" approach, meaning it integrates academic instruction with robust mental health and therapeutic services. Staff members, including specialized educators, counselors, and behavior specialists, work collaboratively to create personalized learning plans tailored to each student’s specific social-emotional goals. Through this individualized attention, Murrell School aims to bridge the gap for students facing significant challenges, ultimately striving to foster personal growth, improve classroom engagement, and prepare students for successful transitions—whether back into a traditional school environment or toward post-secondary life.
