TASK visits the Carnton Plantation

Carnton was built in 1826 by former Nashville mayor Randal McGavock. During our trip today we learned all about this Historic Plantation and the civil war! We had also enjoyed a fabulous picnic lunch on the battlefield!

WHY T.A.S.K?

At The Academy, we truly believe that our children are, in fact, our FUTURE. Because of that belief, we understand the important job we have to positively influence that future. T.A.S.K. Groups at the Activity Zone are NOT your average school age program groups. Here, your children will be anything but bored; they will be inspired, encouraged, and given a unique opportunity to learn about our world. T.A.S.K. is happy to provide quality care for children Kindergarten through 12 years old. THE VISION: The vision of the T.A.S.K. program is to be the number one before and after school provider for school-age children in the area by providing quality education in a more intimate family environment where children can learn, explore, and succeed in the world around them.
