About Transitions at Bass
Transitions at Bass is an MNPS special-education or alternative program in The Nations / Sylvan Park, serving grades 11–12 in Davidson County.
This is a placement-based MNPS program rather than a school you apply to in the usual way: it has no attendance zone and no open application. Students arrive by referral or placement — through an IEP team, the district discipline process, or a credit-recovery referral — so the place to start is your current school counselor or the MNPS Exceptional Education office.
It enrolled 18 students in 2023-24.
For families weighing logistics: MNPS busing is available, and there is no uniform requirement.
Transitions at Bass is one of 14 schools this guide lists in The Nations / Sylvan Park and one of 11 MNPS special-education and alternative programs in Davidson County.
