Private School in Henderson, NV

The Henderson International School:
The Henderson International School, located in Henderson (part of the greater Las Vegas valley), Nevada, is an independent, co-ed, non-sectarian school offering pre-school through twelfth grade college preparatory programs. Henderson International School’s strong and traditional college preparatory academic course offerings are complemented by enrichment offerings in Athletics, Theater Arts, Music, Visual and Graphic Arts, Computer Science, and other offerings. Our central mission is simple: create the very best academic program we can, find the very best teachers in the region and put them with motivated students. The result is excellence!

Our mission is to recruit the very best teachers we can find. Our search for teachers extends across the country as well as here in the state and region. We look for subject expertise, academic qualifications, experience (but we also want to find one or two brand new teachers who show promise and ability-this is one way to give back to education in general!) but, first and foremost, we want well-credentialed people who want the very best education for the children in their care. The existing faculty is very experienced, well-educated at both Bachelor and Master degree level, and attuned to the need to maintain professional development every year of their careers.

Our Curriculum:
We offer a full college preparatory program, including a range of academic subjects from introductory to advanced in the high school and a full academic program for elementary and middle school ages: we also offer a growing menu of both fine arts and athletic opportunities for all ages.
 
Our Philosophy:
The Henderson International School's philosophy is that the development of self-confidence, self-discipline, creativity, art, athletic and academic achievement is founded in the solid acquisition of basic thinking and communication skills. Using a whole-child approach, we offer a challenging college-preparatory academic curriculum and a growing array of athletic programs, travel opportunities, and club activities. Our team of talented, caring, and well-qualified educators brings learning to life by providing context and meaning at every turn. These professionals provide students with the individual attention they need as they begin to take responsibility for their own learning. We believe that the best schools have a "small-town" feel where love, honesty, courage, integrity, humor, and gratitude are the qualities most admired. This is why we strive to keep our School a "family affair," where families are invited and encouraged to participate actively in the educational process.
