What Makes Our School Unique?
Johnson School is a program founded upon the 12 principles of Re-Education, developed by Dr. Nicholas Hobbs. We are committed to providing a therapeutic environment where every student's strengths are acknowledged and opportunities are provided for social, emotional and academic growth and development.
Our mission is to provide every student with the foundation of knowledge, skills and character necessary to identify and pursue pathways that lead to opportunities for success. In order to fulfill this mission, we coordinate the efforts of home, school and community to best meet the needs of our students. We strive to provide an environment that is rich with the support, consistency and nurturing that our special population of students requires.
The Johnson School family is proud to be a part of the Metropolitan Nashville Public School System! We welcome inquiries and would enjoy a visit from anyone with a desire to see and experience our unique program first hand.
