I am immensely happy that we found NVSI for our son. He is a wonderful child but has a few challenges when presented with the standard learning curriculum and environment found in most of the large, public junior high schools available in Las Vegas. Christina and Eric are fantastic educators and wonderful people. I definitely feel that my son would have fallen through the cracks in a standard institution, but at NVSI he has been nurtured, supported, and developed beyond my wildest hopes. The hands-on approach and unique learning structure offered really seem to have had a positive and lasting impact on my son. He has never wanted to go to school as avidly as he has since enrolling at NVSI. The change in attitude is amazing. I would recommend this school for any child. The cost is also very economical compared to other private schools in the area. That is not to say that NVSI is not a commitment for both the parents and the student, but it is absolutely worth the investment 100%.

I love this school my son was lost in huge public school classes. He is now receiving the one-on-one attention he needs to engage with his studies. It is also very cost-effective for a private school.

NVSI has been such an incredible experience for my daughter. She wasn't thriving in public middle school and I was worried about her future. This school has changed her trajectory and provides the individualized attention she needs to prepare for high school. The school community is very harmonious and there is great communication about academic progress and activities.

I love attending the Nevada School of Inquiry. Eric and Christina have transformed the middle school experience into something extraordinary. They're like a second set of parents to me and I can't imagine life without them. They make learning enjoyable and exciting. It feels like a family here and I wish they taught high school too. They prepare us well for the next level and their love and care set them apart.
