Client Spotlight: Jones Paideia Magnet Elementary School

Located in Nashville’s historic Buchanan Arts District, Jones Paideia Magnet Elementary School is on a mission to “positively provide service to all, collaboration with all, and innovation for all as we learn and grow in a positive learning environment.”

“At Jones Paideia, we teach our students to dream big as we create individualized pathways to make those dreams a reality.” — Dr. Tesia Wilson, Executive Principal

Wilson describes the school as a “safe haven where minds are stretched, creativity is embraced, community is valued, voices are heard, and every student is known.”
