There is no school in Nevada quite like SNACS

Dr. Kimberly Regan founded Nevada’s very first charter school to make challenging, supporting, and celebrating children a neighborhood endeavor. To offer students more meaningful choices. To embrace and support different ways of learning. And to use her innovative and powerful model of education, PLAY (Promoting Learning and Accountability in Youth), to unlock the potential of every single student.

And after 20 years, Nevada’s first charter school is still its best.

SNACS creates community.

“Bringing the neighborhood back to education” means actively partnering with parents and guardians to better support students. Creating hands-on learning opportunities with professionals within our vibrant community. Honoring and sharing the many dirse cultures and perspectives within our school. And making sure everyone feels welcomed and accepted for who they really are.

SNACS supports students.

Every child has the potential to succeed in school and far too often, that potential is squandered. Within our small classes, passionate and professional educators create customized learning pathways around the strengths of each child. Whether a student has ruggled to keep up or struggled to find adequate academic challenges, they will find what they need at SNACS—and they will succeed.

SNACS offers real-world learning and real choice.

We all learn best when we are doing what we love—and when we can see results. At SNACS, students of all ages embark on multidisciplinary learning pathways built around their own interests and aptitudes. Encouraged and supported by attentive adults, they learn how to chart their own course and wk within a team on real-world projects. They stretch their skills. They discover new passions. And they reach their loftiest goals.

SNACS is completely free.

Unlike private schools, SNACS provides all the advantages of an independent education without any additional expenses and fees. In fact, 96% of our student body meets the Nevada state definition of “at-risk.” Our accessibility and affordability are our greatest sources of our strength. We are proud to bring the PLAY model of education to everyone.

At SNACS, students learn to love school.

If your child has ever felt left out or left behind at school, they will find their place at SNACS. We understand that every child learns differently and our curriculum and community are built to accommodate their individual learning styles and interests. No matter where they are today, every student can succeed at SNACS.

See why SNACS is a game-changer for students for yourself. Let us know how we can help you navigate the charter school enrollment process today.
