School Overview

Middle College High School, located in the Midtown area of Memphis, Tennessee, is a unique public magnet school operated by the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. Unlike a traditional high school, Middle College focuses on an intensive, academically rigorous environment designed to bridge the gap between high school and higher education. It is situated on the campus of Christian Brothers University (CBU), which allows students to immerse themselves in a college-like atmosphere while completing their secondary education.

The school is particularly well-regarded for its partnership with CBU, which provides eligible students the opportunity to enroll in dual-enrollment courses. This structure allows motivated students to earn college credit before graduating high school, effectively giving them a head start on their post-secondary goals. With its smaller class sizes and personalized approach, Middle College High caters to students who are seeking a more mature, independent academic setting and a clear pathway toward college readiness.
