Core offering

Nevada State High School (NSHS) is a tuition-free public charter high school that allows juniors and seniors to take real college courses on real college campuses, earning both high school and college credits simultaneously. The school pays tuition and fees for up to 19 college courses per student and supports enrollment through partnerships with Nevada community colleges. It also offers career technical education pathways in fields such as Health Sciences, Fire Science, Welding, and Hospitality.

Product overview

Nevada State High School operates as a single, unified dual-credit charter school program rather than a platform with separate modules. The core product is the dual enrollment program, which allows high school juniors and seniors to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously through partnerships with Nevada community colleges. Supporting this core, the school offers academic preparation courses (Introduction to College, Study Skills, Transitions, COMPASS), college courses at partner institutions, career technical education pathways, and student support services. Additional offerings include SUNSHS student government, National Honor Society, and extracurricular activities. The school uses Canvas Portal as its LMS, SchoolMint for enrollment, and partners with multiple Nevada colleges for course delivery across 9 campus locations.
