Public Charter School
Public charter Schools are public schools of choice. All charter schools in Nevada are free for students to attend. Charters have more freedom to operate based on values, themes, and missions. Each charter school has a contract with a sponsor, such as the State Public Charter School Authority (SPCSA). This sponsor makes sure that the school is complying with local laws and meeting academic goals. Unlike other public schools, families are not limited to a “zone.”
Enrollment
Open enrollment periods can be found on the school’s website and may vary. Since seats are limited, students are selected for enrollment with a lottery system that generally goes from November to April. Each charter school has its own application timeline.
Transportation
Transportation options vary for each charter school. More information can be found by contacting or visiting the school.
