What Makes Our School Unique?
I.T. Creswell is home to Nashville’s performing and visual arts magnet program for grades 5-8. Students enrolled in the magnet program come from all areas of Metropolitan Nashville to study dance, drama, visual arts and music in addition to academic subjects. Those who complete 8th grade have an opportunity to audition for the Nashville School of the Arts, while those choosing to attend traditional high schools do so with increased appreciation for the arts and their own artistic abilities.
There is a vitality and excitement at Creswell that’s quite contagious. Come for a tour and catch the Creswell Comet spirit!!
