Tennessee Nature Academy : Founding Families

Now Enrolling TNA Founding Families! (2023-2024 school year)

Tennessee Nature Academy has a limited number of seats available for the 2023-2024 school year. Tennessee Nature Academy is collecting Intent to Enroll forms for families who desire to be notified as soon as the enrollment window opens.

Nov. 1, 2022-Feb. 17, 2023: TNA Application Window. All families who apply during this window will be entered into our lottery. All families who submit an application will receive notification of next steps when the lottery is run and will be included in special events for their kids and families to help them discern if TNA is the right fit for them. Any families who apply after this window will be added to the waitlist.

Feb. 24, 2023: Tennessee Nature Academy will run its lottery. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of seats available, we will generate a waitlist.
March 1, 2023: We notify our Founding Families of their acceptance! When a family does not accept their seat, we offer the seat to the next family on the waitlist.
