Young Scholars of Nashville Program

About YSN

Young Scholars of Nashville, or YSN, is the name of the talent development program for MNPS students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. The goal of YSN is to identify and nurture advanced academic potential in elementary and middle school students. Availability of YSN classes depends on the school site.

YSN classes are taught during the school day by the school’s Advanced Academics Resource Teacher (AART) Ms. Julie Martin-Walker. The YSN program focuses on nurturing critical and creative thinking abilities embedded within content areas. Students gain eligibility for YSN classes based on demonstrated advanced thinking potential.

If you have any questions about the Young Scholars of Nashville (YSN) program, please connect with the Advanced Academics Resource Teacher (AART) Ms. Julie Martin- Walker here at I. T. Creswell Middle School.
