Magnet/Career Technology Academy Programs are offered through the Clark County School Districts to provide students with learning opportunities related to various themes ie: STEM/STEAM, International Studies, Performing Arts, Culinary, Video Game Technology and Web Design , Aviation,  Education and Early Childhood and numerous other careers/professions.  These programs are open to all students that apply during the application period fall through 2 Feb each year.  A lottery process is used to select students.  Limited seats are available additional information on specific programs can be found at magnet.ccsd.net/site.php.

Open enrollment provides parents of CCSD students with another choice.  Schools with available seats in Kindergarten through Grade 12 will be advertised for the purpose of allowing parents/guardians of students who do not reside in attendance zones to express interest in enrolling their child(ren).  Open Enrollment applications are usually accepted April-July for the upcoming school year at itsyourchoice.ccsd.net/open-enrollment.

Zone Variance is another option for our families if there is a desire to not attend their zoned school.  A Request for Zone Variance application (CCF-836) is available at all schools and must be submitted from 1 Mar to 1 May.  Zone variances may be granted at the discretion of the requested school principal for the current school year only.

Charter School:
A Charter School is a school that receives government funding but operates independently of the established state school system in which it is located. Charter schools are an example of public asset privatization.  Admission to a charter school is usually by a lottery process.  A list of Charter Schools can be found at charterschools.nv.gov.

Private School:
Private schools, also known to many as independent schools, non-governmental, privately funded, or non-state schools, are not administered by local, state or national governments.  Private schools retain the right to select their students and are funded in whole or in part by charging their students for tuition, rather than relying on mandatory taxation through public funding.   A list of Private Schools can be found at privateschoolreview.com/nevada/las-vegas.
