Why This Matters
Nevada Families Deserve Better
For too long, your child’s school was decided by where you lived — not what they needed. That’s changing. Here’s what’s at stake:
Nevada ranks among the lowest in student performance
Families are searching for better options — and more are available than most people realize.
Private school choice used to be for wealthy families only
New scholarship programs are leveling the playing field for working and middle-class Nevada families.
Parents who switch report dramatically higher satisfaction
Research consistently shows that when families choose their school, they're more satisfied — across every income level.
Competition improves all schools
When families have real choices, both public and private schools are pushed to improve — raising the bar for every child.
Educational choice has always been available to those who can afford private school tuition. ESAs and scholarship programs can end the cycle where zip code determines destiny.
Your Options
Every Family is Different. Every Child is Different.
Here’s a plain-language overview of the educational paths available to Nevada families right now.
Public School Transfers
You may not be stuck in your assigned school. Nevada families can request transfers to better-performing public schools in their district or through inter-district options. Learn your rights.
Charter Schools
Tuition-free public charter schools often offer specialized curricula — STEM, arts, language immersion, project-based learning — with more flexibility than traditional public schools.
Private Schools
Many Nevada private schools offer tuition within reach of scholarship funding. Faith-based, college-prep, Montessori, and classical schools are all available across the state.
Online & Virtual Schools
Full-time online public schools and accredited virtual academies offer a flexible alternative for students who thrive outside a traditional classroom setting.
Homeschooling & Home Co-ops
Nevada has among the most homeschool-friendly laws in the country. Homeschool cooperatives and microschools give families maximum flexibility to build a customized education.
Microschools
Small, innovative learning environments — often run by master teachers or education entrepreneurs — are emerging across Nevada, offering personalized instruction for small groups.
New for 2027
The Federal School Choice Program is Here — and Nevada Opted In.
The Federal Tax Credit Scholarship (FTCS) program opens a new door for Nevada families. If your household income is at or below 300% of your area’s median income, your child may qualify for a scholarship covering a wide range of educational expenses.
Donors receive a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit
of up to $1,700 per year (up to $3,400 for married couples) for contributions to approved Scholarship Granting Organizations.
Scholarships cover tuition, tutoring, textbooks, technology, special needs services, transportation
and more at public, private, or religious schools.
The program officially launches January 1, 2027.
Applications go through independent Scholarship Granting Organizations, not the government.
Start Planning Now
The Federal Tax Credit Scholarship launches in 2027 — but you can start researching your eligibility and options today using Nevada Policy’s official toolkit.
