WHO WE ARE

The L.O.V.E. Academy is a fiscally sponsored project of the Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville, a non-profit organization, that serves MNPS-enrolled high school teens (grades 9-12) with after-school and summer programming across various content areas such as culinary arts, songwriting and recording, film and content production, cosmetology, vocational training, communications, entrepreneurship & STEM. Our goal is to encourage teens to reach their full potential and develop life skills that will enable them to be self-sufficient, empowered, and thoughtful leaders in their professional and personal lives beyond high school.
