It’s time to redesign school.

We are a tuition-free public school reimagining learning.

We leverage a mastery-based, student-centric approach to ensure all students thrive academically and personally. We partner with local organizations to provide wraparound support for students, families, and community members.

We are now enrolling Davidson County students entering Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade in the 2025-2026 school year.

We will expand by adding one grade each following year until we reach 8th grade.

Why Encompass?

When we take a one-size-fits-all, time-based approach, many students don’t master foundational skills in their early academic careers, which has a snowball effect.

As students progress through our public school system, proficiency rates decline.

We see this trend clearly in national assessments. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), fewer 12th graders are performing at grade level than 8th graders are performing at grade level. And fewer 8th graders are performing at grade level than 4th graders.

It is time we shift away from a one-size-fits-all approach to learning and transform our schools to meet the needs of all students and not just some.
