Enrollment

How do I enroll my child for Fall 2027?
Enrollment for our founding K-2 classes will begin in 2026. If we receive more applications than available seats, we will conduct a random, public lottery to determine placement, as required by Nevada law.

Can I apply if I don’t live in a specific zip code?
Yes. As a charter school, we are open to all students residing in Nevada, regardless of their zoned district or home address.
​
What if my child has an IEP or is an English Language Learner?
We welcome and serve all students. Our model is built on providing personalized instruction that meets the unique academic and social-emotional needs of every child.

What grades will you serve?
We will open in 2027 with Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades. We plan to grow by adding a grade each year until we are a full K-8 school.

Does Citizens of the World Las Vegas have a uniform policy?
Yes. CWCLV requires all students to wear uniforms. We believe uniforms promote a sense of belonging, reduce social distractions, and reinforce a professional learning environment.

What are the school hours?
Final school hours will be released in 2027.

When does enrollment officially begin?
Applications for the 2027–28 school year will open on November 1, 2026.

To be included in the enrollment lottery, families must submit an application by January 27, 2027. If more applications are received than seats available in a grade level, Citizens of the World Charter School Las Vegas will hold a public lottery on January 29, 2027.

Please complete our Interest Form today to receive enrollment reminders, school updates, invitations to family events, and notification when the application opens.

Completing the Interest Form does not submit an enrollment application or reserve a student’s seat. Families must submit an enrollment application during the application window to participate in the lottery.

What grades can I apply for?
For our inaugural 2027–28 school year, Citizens of the World Charter School Las Vegas plans to accept applications for:

* Kindergarten

* 1st Grade

* 2nd Grade

We plan to add one grade level each year until we serve students in Kindergarten through 8th grade.

Is there an application fee or entrance exam?
No. Citizens of the World Charter School Las Vegas is a tuition-free public charter school open to eligible students across Nevada.

There is no application fee. We do not require entrance exams, interviews, essays, academic records, disability information, English-language proficiency information, or other admissions criteria in order for a family to submit an application. Nevada charter schools must be free and open to students, and if applications exceed available seats, admission is determined through a lottery process.

What happens after the lottery?
If your child is offered a seat through the lottery, you will receive instructions for completing registration. Families must submit all required registration documentation within two weeks of receiving an offer.

If your child is not offered a seat, they will be placed on the school’s waitlist. Families will be contacted if a seat becomes available.

What happens if you have more applicants than seats?
If the number of applications exceeds our capacity for a specific grade level, we will hold a random, public lottery in early 2027 to determine student placement. This is a requirement under Nevada law to ensure fair and equal access for all families.

Are there “preferences” in the lottery?
In accordance with Nevada state law, we provide certain lottery preferences, such as for siblings of currently enrolled students and children of founding board members or school staff. All other students are entered into the general lottery pool.

What if my child is not selected in the lottery?
Students not selected during the initial lottery are placed on a waitlist in the order determined by the random drawing. If a seat becomes available before or during the start of the school year, we will contact the next family on the waitlist immediately.

Do I have to live in a specific neighborhood to apply?
No. CWCLV is open to any student residing in the state of Nevada. You do not need to be “zoned” for our school to attend.

How old does my child need to be for Kindergarten?
For the Fall 2027 school year, Nevada law requires students to be 5 years old on or before August 1, 2027, to enroll in Kindergarten.

What documents will I need once my child is accepted?
After being offered a seat, you will need to provide your child’s birth certificate, current immunization records, and proof of Nevada residency (such as a utility bill or lease).
