WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
AT A GLANCE
Nevada State High School (NSHS) is an early college charter high school for juniors and seniors. NSHS students take real college courses with real professors on real college and university campuses in Nevada. These courses count for both high school and college credit, making it possible for our students to earn their high school diplomas while getting a head start on their college degrees. The best part about it? Attending NSHS is absolutely free — we pay for tuition and fees for every student for up to five classes each semester.

“This was one of the most rewarding, and beneficial opportunities of my life. At first I was hesitate about transferring from my public zoned school to NSHS, but boy was it the best decision! I have flourished and sprouted under NSHS’s tender care and I wish everyone nothing but the best in the future!”
– Patricia Hernandez, Class of 2017
“I don’t think I would have committed to finishing college had I not come to NSHS. What I love about this school is that it provides a smooth transition to college readiness, and students have a chance to renew their confidence in their academic abilities. I feel more than ready to start the next school year at UNLV, and I am glad I will be going in with a clear idea of how college works.”

“Choosing to attend NSHS was the best decision I’ve ever made. Because of my dual credits, I’m able to graduate from college in less than three years!”

“From the onset of my time at Nevada State High School, I was encouraged and challenged to develop as a scholar and evolve as a thinker. I was given a unique opportunity to earn college credits while finishing high school, and I mastered skills that have become the foundation of my future success. With over 50 college credits completed at Nevada State High School, I was able to graduate from Chapman University within two years, saving over $80,000. Nevada State High School has been the most valuable academic component in my life, and I am grateful for the outstanding experience I received.”
