The Chattanooga School for the Arts & Sciences is a K–12 magnet school in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was opened in 1986 in the former Wyatt Hall building which was used as a high school until 1983. The building was designed in Georgian Revival style^[2] by Reuben H. Hunt, a Chattanooga architect.

The building was constructed in 1920–1921^[3] and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as Wyatt Hall.^[1] It was named for Professor Henry D. Wyatt, founder of the public school system in Chattanooga, a teacher and the first Superintendent of Schools.^[2]

Its liberal-arts curriculum is patterned on Mortimer Adler's Paideia philosophy. The physical building has been a school in several incarnations, and was once attended by Samuel L. Jackson (as Riverside High School).

It was also known as Chattanooga High School.^[2]
