Founders Classical Academy of Las Vegas, Las Vegas | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

As a parent coming from the CCSD I must say that this has been the best thing that has happen to my kids! I have a 10th grader, 4th grader and 1st grader. What a difference a year makes! Although it was challenging for my kids in the beginning to acclimate to the higher education levels and expectation standard; I think that they have adapted well and we are on the road to a greater education. I love the fact that they are very adamant on respect and take measures to discipline as consequences instead of the leniency I have experienced in the public school system, especially in the society we live in and my children are growing up in. I truly believe that there must be consequences and responsibility should be taken in order for these kids to prosper in life as adolescents and adults. I have no problem holding my children accountable for their poor choices and am happy to work hand in hand with the school to accomplish this! On the other hand, the classical education foundation that this school sets is excellent and I can definitely tell the difference with their growing vocabulary and excitement they have to go to school and learn most of all. They often come home excited and eager to tell me what they learned that day. Thank you to the administration and teachers who teach our kids and kudos to all the other parents whom are able to invest their time as well!

I have had a great experience this last year at Founders. My son was on the waiting list for Kindergarten and was able to get in in February. I decided to make the switch even though it would be a 30 min drive for me each way because I had high hopes for this school. I was not disappointed! My son actually had a hard time at first because, in all honesty, he is a bit naughty and very dramatic. I was embarrassed at the way he was acting and spoke with his teacher often. She really helped me and his behavior improved tremendously. She is a no nonsense type of teacher which my son really needed.
I’ve read other reviews that criticize Founders for being right wing but that’s why we chose this school. We wanted a conservative environment that valued propriety, academics and pride in our American heritage. I wanted to be able to bring my child to a school where I didn’t have to be worried about what kind of questionable nonsense they would be learning. I cant wait for next year!

We love it at Founders. My son wants to go to school and loves being there. The staff and teachers are really friendly and they get to know you. You are not just a number but a person. We transfered from one charter school to this school because at his first school, if a child is ahead the teacher wouldnt give a child more work to do or keep them busy. They would either have to sit there and be quiet or help a “lower end student”. Sorry, we are in kindergarten and its not my kid’s job to help another and 5 year olds do not understand the concept of team work to get class work done. After about a month trying to work with his bad teacher (he was ahead in every subject but kept getting poor behavior marks which is not like him at all) we finally got the call from founders to attend. So glad we made the move.
