LVA students are not just thinkers, they are makers and creators. LVA Visual Design Majors are expressive, obsessive, progressive and are willing to take a risk to visually express their emotions and ideas in telling their stories. LVA students are as unique as the art they create. We are as unique as the colors we paint with, but are united through our humanity, sense of justice, empathy for others and in our passion for art. Every diverse and unique student adds to the special environment fostered at LVA. Each student adds a shimmer, a glow of color and a line of definition or a swath of shadow to the unique, ever evolving work of art that is the Las Vegas Academy.

About LVA Conservatory Programs Admissions/Auditions Support Class of 2026 Students/Parents News & Accolades More Visual Design Overview Where your story begins is not where it ends. LVA is a bridge to the art world and beyond. LVA art students seek college education and majors in very diverse subject matter. Students have graduated to seek medical degrees, engineering degrees, architecture degrees, science degrees and yes, art degrees. LVA has worked with Junior and Senior level students through AP Studio Art coursework that harnesses a student’s ability to create, edit, process, experiment, revise and synthesize visual design projects. Students do not only make art, they are originators of unique concepts, they are visual activists and use their energy to change their world. Students have earned full-ride scholarships at The Cooper Union and School of Visual Arts NY. Students have been invited to attend RISD, MICA, Pratt, Parsons, UNLV, SFAI, Otis, CalArts, and many other 4 year colleges and universities with substantial scholarships. There is no one path that all students are mandated to walk at LVA. The LVA Way empowers each student with the resources to find and develop their identity, finetune their interest and turn their education into a passion that will lead into a career. Graduates of LVA have built careers in local government, entertainment, business, medical fields, education and, of course, the arts. LVA graduates have become designers, web developers and art teachers. Jennifer Main is a prominent working artist that graduated from LVA in Visual Design. Students are introduced and guided to mastery of traditional art media, new media, technology, lens-based arts, and time-based art forms through their chosen art major. This is a unique approach found only at magnet art programs like LVA’s. LVA offers majors in Film, Graphic Design, Photography, Sculpture and 2D Visual Design. Additionally, the humanities courses required at LVA also enhance a student’s ability to think, reason and be inspired by diverse stories in our local, state, national and worldwide histories. Program Curriculum The LVA curriculum is built similar to a college level art studio practice. Students are guided through a Foundation year of black & white media and mixed media exploration that establishes a core skill set with an introduction to drawing and painting techniques, art history, aesthetics and critical analysis. Second year further develops a knowledge base of color media in oil paint, color pencil, art history and concepts with mixed media experimentation quickly becoming mastery. Third year begins to emphasize the voice of the individual by further exploration of gouache paint, intaglio printmaking, oil paint, chalk pastel, oil pastel, history and using pivotal art movements as a stepping stone to creating art projects based on personal concepts for the AP Drawing portfolio. Fourth year is a senior thesis guided by art activism and the AP 2D Design curriculum. Projects begin during the summer months by developing a narrative and ideas focused on art as social activism. The senior year braids together the LVA experience and guides students through the college application process that begins early in the fall. Students are encouraged to tour colleges, attend national portfolio day events, interview with admission counselors to discuss portfolio and admission requirements for college entry. The fourth year curriculum includes silkscreen printmaking, advanced oil paint techniques, acrylic paint techniques, and combining the previous experienced media to empower experimental mixed media to create their senior AP 2D Design portfolios. This process has helped many students not only earn entry to some of the most prestigious art programs across the country, but to also be offered high level scholarships and full tuition based on the quality of their artwork. Students are empowered through their academic and creative education to harness their talents, develop their skills and to focus their energy on goals they have envisioned for their future. Visual Arts is a demanding Conservatory within the Las Vegas Academy that has guided students to create their future, and in turn, has helped many students earn many rewards. Program Accolades The Las Vegas Academy Visual Design Program has been recognized for its achievements in National and International adjudications, including: Scholastic Gold Key - multiple winners yearly Scholastic National Gold Key Scholastic Silver Key - multiple winners yearly Scholastic National Silver Key Congressional Awards - multiple winners yearly CCSD VOICE - multiple winners yearly Showgirl Legacy Foundation Art Contest - multiple winners yearly Program Outcome The college level approach at LVA results in students being able to draw, paint, sculpt, photograph, record and edit, click and drag and design with expert level outcomes. Most importantly, The LVA Way extends well beyond the classroom. Students are taught skills that transcend the canvas. Visual problem solving, creative thinking, creating, storytelling and visual communication can be applied to many, if not all the situations that students will encounter when they graduate. Students regularly participate in critiques; students discuss their own work and their peers work in constructive ways which helps students develop the ability to speak in public. This ability to clearly, constructively and relevantly communicate is a skill that many students have returned to express gratitude for during spring and summer breaks.

In 2018, a high school choir teacher recommended he pursue music at UNLV and take opera lessons with Alfonse Anderson, a professor of voice. Shelton enrolled as a vocal performance major and, since then, has become a multifaceted singer, capable of singing both contemporary and opera music. Shelton's media popularity, which grew during the pandemic, caught the eye of an ad agency seeking a singer for a 2021 Super Bowl commercial for the hiring platform Indeed. In the commercial he sings a rendition of Andra Day's "Rise Up". Currently he is pursuing a master's degree in vocal performance at UNLV and "sees himself singing, as a recording artist and a live performer in all facets of music" . Alumni Spotlight

The essence of good discipline is respect; respect for others, respect for self, and respect for rules. This attitude, which begins at home, is reinforced at school and applied through life. In order to guarantee an excellent learning environment for all students, the following school-wide discipline policies have been adopted. In the classroom, no student will interfere with teacher instruction, another student’s learning, or engage in any behavior that is not in their best interest or in the best interest of others. At LVA, we recognize and appreciate that the majority of our students conduct themselves in a positive and constructive manner at all times. Student are expected to exemplify the LVA Way . It is important that all students carefully read and become familiar with the rules and consequences so that there are no misunderstandings. Please remember school rules and expectations apply while at on-campus or off-campus school-related activities as well on the way to and from home. During online distance learning, school rules still apply. When students engage in inappropriate behavior, they will be dealt with fairly and consistently. Students may be subject to a range of disciplinary actions based on the nature of the infraction, the number and types of behavioral referrals, and the frequency at which the student is referred for disciplinary action. This range includes, but is not limited to, student conferences, detentions, required parent conferences, formal suspensions, recommendation for placement in Behavioral Program, recommendation for expulsion, and/or arrest. DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE (DMV) ATTENDANCE POLICY (SB 269 ) SB 269 – Senate Bill 269, effective on January 1, 2015, establishes new school attendance requirements for application of a learner's permit or driver's license and requires imposing administrative sanctions on students with poor attendance. As of January 1st, all students under the age of 18 who wish to apply for a learner's permit or driver's license must submit a completed DMV-301 form to the DMV office at the time of application. The DMV-301 requires a school official's signature verifying the applicant has attended at least 90% of the school days in the current semester. Students who do not meet the 90% attendance standard in the current semester will be unable to apply until the next semester, provided they have met the 90% standard during that semester. Students who have three or more unapproved absences may be deemed a habitual truant, issued a truancy citation, and suffer a suspension of their driver's license for three (3) months for the first offense and nine (9) months for the second offense. Students who do not have a valid driver's license will not be eligible to apply for a learner's permit or a driver's license, once they become eligible to apply, for thirty (30) days for the first offense and sixty (60) days for the second offense. Students who turn 18 during the suspension, will be required to complete the terms of the suspension before becoming eligible to apply for a learner's permit or driver's license. Bring forms to the Student Success Office in the Main Bldg. Please contact Emily Salmon at salmoe1@nv.ccsd.net for questions & assistance.

Dance Overview The Dance Conservatory is a progressive, creative and technical training program that prepares students to pursue dance in college, professional dance careers, or other life paths supported by the arts. We focus on creating young artists who know their own voice and have a strong grasp of the current dance environment. The Dance Department is designed to enhance technique and to develop strong artists who have a specific point of view. Students are challenged to build their own work as well as train in a variety of rigorous techniques presented by our diverse faculty and a community of guest professionals. Performance skills are built through creating and presenting ensemble works in concert three times a year from a multitude of different choreographers, as well as two auditioned original full-length shows. The program’s blend of dancers coming from all different teachers and training across the valley provides our young artists the opportunity to investigate their craft in a continually evolving, immersive, and cutting-edge environment. Program Curriculum The Dance Department fully covers Contemporary, Composition, Jazz, Ballet, Graham, Horton, and Post-Modern styles of dance. Students are placed in one of our eight levels of major block classes based on their maturity, commitment, discipline, artistry and technique. Our levels begin with Technique and Theory 1B and advance to Elements II dance technique class. Instructors place a high priority on building an ensemble in these classrooms, which enables students to build artistry and self-esteem through being a part of a collective group with a common focus. In addition to daily major block classes, each dance student is placed in at least one elective course that meets every other day. All Freshmen are placed in Ballet, Intro to Modern, or the Male Elective. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors audition for the elective(s) of their choice including Contemporary, Ballet, Intermediate or Advanced Modern, Intermediate or Advanced Jazz, Choreography and Ballroom. This option provides students the opportunity to focus on specific areas of need or interest as they progress through the program. Program Outcome The Dance Conservatory aims to prepare students to pursue dance in college, professional dance careers - or to simply enter the world as well-rounded creative thinkers with a strong work ethic and ability to work on a team. Many students go on with scholarships to 4-year prestigious dance college programs, while others become teachers in studios, performing arts high schools, and colleges across the country. Some go on to create dance companies of their own. Other students, who choose not to pursue a dance career, enter the general workforce with a multitude of skills: prepared to think outside of the box to solve problems, find the beauty in any situation, and live life as their art piece. Program Accolades The Dance Department boasts many alumni working as professional dancers. We have graduates in the Batsheva dance company, Body Traffic dance company, Lion King National Tour, Cirque du Soleil, two winners, and several contestants on So You Think You Can Dance, as well as many cruise ships and commercial dancers touring. Each September the Department hosts a college audition on campus, where colleges recruit students to attend their universities, as well as give out scholarships to outstanding students. All seniors are welcome to participate in the audition for the invited 10-15 colleges. We have students who have pursued dance at programs including Julliard, USC, NYU, Marymount Manhattan College, SUNY Purchase, Point Park University, California Institute of the Arts, Chapman University, John Hopkins University, Hart Conservatory, and Southern Methodist University, among many others.

Student placement in classes is carefully determined using several factors, including teacher recommendations, previous grades in similar courses, MAP scores, parent input, and the student’s interests. Every effort is made to place students in courses that are appropriately challenging and aligned with their assessed abilities. Students are not placed in classes below their ability level. Students will be scheduled into the classes they select unless a course is filled or canceled. Course offerings are based on student requests and staffing availability. As a result, some courses listed in this catalog may not be offered once the master schedule is created. Courses selected during the spring Course Selection process are the courses students will attend for the entire 2026–2027 school year. Because schedule changes are very limited and only permitted under the schedule change policy outlined in the course catalog, parents and students are encouraged to choose classes carefully. 📘 Please refer to the course catalog below for details. 2026-2027 Course Catalog Academic Advising Each student at LVA is assigned a Guidance Instructor (Mentor Teacher) who is already part of the student’s class schedule, making them easily accessible throughout the year.

Guidance time provides students with essential information for success in high school, including college planning, ACT and SAT testing, career preparation, and access to valuable resources. Guidance Instructors monitor each student’s grades and attendance and meet with students individually on a monthly basis to assess progress and determine if interventions are needed. This mentorship model ensures every student has a consistent, supportive adult advocating for their academic and personal success.

Ms. Miller Common application vs coalition Application What is a Coalition Application? The Coalition Application is focused on making college more accessible to historically underrepresented students, and its member schools are aligned with this mission. This means they must meet certain criteria regarding tuition costs, need-based financial aid, and graduation rates. What is the Common Application? The Common Application is a single online college application form used by over 900 colleges and universities. Instead of filling out the same general information—like your address, GPA, and extracurriculars— a dozen times, you only have to do it once. The Common App dashboard also helps you track necessary application documents (like your letters of recommendation) and important deadlines.

Earning college credit before graduating from high school can also put you on track to graduate in less time and with less debt. Dual Credit Many high schools offer dual credit classes that count for both high school and college credit. Courses are usually taught by a certified high school instructor or are offered online. Advanced Placement Advanced Placement or AP courses are designed to give you the experience of an introductory-level college class while you’re still in high school. They are usually taught by a certified high school instructor. You can earn college credit for the class if you pass the AP exam given at the end of the course. It is a good idea to check with the colleges you are interested in attending to see if they will accept credit from dual credit and AP classes. In most cases, payment is required to enroll in dual credit classes. Payment is also required to take AP exams to receive college credit. However, credit earned through dual credit and AP classes is often less expensive than completing the same courses in college. To learn more about dual credit and AP classes offered at your high school, check with your high school counselor.

Welcome to the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Library We are located directly across from the front entrance in Main Library Hours: 6:35am - 4:00pm Office Hours: 7:30am - 4:00pm (702) 799-7800 ex 4025 Mr. Shelby Guinn, Library Manager guinnst@nv.ccsd.net From its first day in September 1931, as Las Vegas High School Library, to today, as Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Library, our library consistently has been a place where students can access a varied collection of fiction, non-fiction, and reference books as well as gather together for research and homework projects; however, what began as a small high school lending library has become a multipurpose space, combining the literary and academic function of a library with the college and career resources of our newly created Success Center, located within the library. Formerly, as the Las Vegas High School Library, the space was elegantly filled with small-scale, natural material furnishings suitable for a student body of 360: solid oak tables and chairs, built-in wooden bookshelves lining the walls, and the epitome of original library furnishings, a hardwood cabinet, housing the card catalog, filled with typewritten cards to help patrons locate reading materials, all with bright shining linoleum underfoot. In its current iteration, as the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Library & Success Center, the facility is a larger scale space designed to accommodate our current student body of around 1,700 students. The oak and linoleum of old have given way to bright, modern furniture, contemporary carpet tiles, and a multitude of electronic teaching and learning resources. We are now a modern space in which LVA administration, faculty, staff, and students can engage in a wide variety of activities. We have a sizeable area for meetings and large group instruction, equipped with computer tables, laptops, projector and screen, and an audio system. Our Success Center hosts college visits here, counselors provide instruction in web-based college readiness software programs, and teachers hold classes here. We have areas where students can gather in groups or individually for homework, research projects, board games, and other social, and leisure activities. For those patrons who enjoy a quieter, more solo, environment, our library has several comfortable armchairs in well-lighted nooks and crannies, perfect for relaxing with a favorite book or current magazine. We have about 8,000 fiction and non-fiction titles and approximately 2,000 reference works in our collection. We also subscribe to over 20 magazine titles. Please refer to the LVA Library Lending Policies page to learn more about our library loan periods, overdue fees, and lost or damaged book fines. A modern library is incomplete without electronic tools and online research resources. Sixteen desktop computers are available for students to use for class research and homework assignments. All 16 desktops are connected to a printer, and copies are free. Also, we subscribe to over a dozen electronic database resources that students may access from any school computer. Please see the Online Database Resources page to view our collection of electronic resources. These provide students with up to date information on wide-ranging topics ranging from English/Language Arts to Business/Vocational Resources. Ask Mrs. Sabo for login credentials if you wish to use these databases from home. LVA Library encourages students to, "Explore the World In Your Library," and LVA Success Center encourages students to, "Explore Where You are Going, And How You Will Get There."

They are the largest major at the 12-time Grammy award-winning Las Vegas Academy of the Arts. This program consists of six major choral ensembles, two vocal jazz ensembles, a contemporary a cappella ensemble, and an opera/musical theatre ensemble. Our program is for any student that is passionate about singing, performing, creating, producing, conducting, composing, and teaching vocal music. We have countless opportunities for ambitious and hard-working students to perform and fine-tune their craft.

Students learn how to navigate singing any type of music, along with stage presence, dance, music theory, the history of music, music technology and more. Along with our two major instructors, two full-time assistants/choreographers, and technical director, we welcome a host of talented para-professionals to work with the students one-on-one and in small group settings. Vocal majors perform one classical solo specifically selected for them at the end of each semester. Our students participate in Solo and Ensemble Festivals, with many of them as Command Performance finalists and winners throughout the years. They also sing in national and international competitions, placing along with the best singers of their age around the country. Vocal majors have the opportunity to audition for our On Stage and Contemporary Voices programs, allowing students to develop their stage presence and dive into various genres of popular music. Our students also get hands-on experience with recording studio sessions and filming music videos to be featured on our school's YouTube channel. Program Outcome Graduates of the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Vocal Department go on to study at the most sought-after university and conservatory programs nationally and internationally. College professors seek our students every year at many different recruiting events, held through our Student Success Center, including a specific Vocal College Day. Dozens of professors visit from all over the country to hold masterclasses with our students. The day ends with an opportunity for students to speak with the professors one-on-one in callbacks. Students have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship opportunities, to continue their musical education and further their careers in the arts. In the Vocal Department, we believe in student leadership and foster a culture of involvement and service. Over half of our 260 vocal students participate in some form of leadership. This allows for everyone to feel connected and invested in more than just daily class. We believe these opportunities are formative and give students ownership of their choir experience. Many of our students have found other passions that have led to fruitful careers in the future. Program Accolades As the voice of LVA, The Vocal Department has performed all around the community, including for Star Wars in concert, Andre Rieu, with the stars of the Broadway show Memphis, Producer Kenny Ortega, for President Obama, Foreigner, The Eagles, and with Hugh Jackman on his world tour in summer of 2019.

Our Academy Vocal students are also chorus members of the premier local opera company, Las Vegas Opera, sharing the stage with stars from the Metropolitan Opera and beyond. For many of our students, their singing careers begin with our community performance engagements throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Our ensembles are in high demand for a wide variety of events - from holiday caroling, to patriotic event openings, to memorials, to celebrations.

Student Absence Form Click Here Senior College Preparation Timeline College & Career Center Portal Anchor 1 August/September Register for the SAT and/or ACT if you didn’t take it as a junior, or if you aren’t satisfied with your score and want to take it again. (remember that your counselor can help you with fee waivers) Take a look at some college applications and consider all of the different pieces of information you will need to compile. The SAT test date most popular with high school seniors is this month. Visit with your school counselor to make sure you are on track to graduate and fulfill college admission requirements. If you’re ahead of schedule, consider taking courses at a local university or community college to get a jumpstart on college credit. Take every opportunity to get to know colleges: meeting with college representatives who visit your high schools during the fall, attending local college fairs, visiting campuses (if possible). Ask your counselor if they know of special campus visitation programs. Narrow down your list of colleges and begin to consider “safe,” “reach,” and “realistic” schools. Make sure you have the application and financial aid information for each school. Find out if you qualify for any scholarships at these schools. October Some colleges will have deadlines as early as this month. These would include rolling admission, priority, early decision, and early action deadlines. If you cannot afford the application fees that many colleges charge, ask your counselor to help you request a fee waiver. Finalize your college essay. Many schools will require that you submit at least one essay with your application. Request personal recommendations from teachers, school counselors, or employers. Follow the process required by your high school or provide a stamped, addressed envelope, the appropriate college forms, and an outline of your academic record and extracurricular activities to each person writing you a recommendation. Research possibilities of scholarships. Ask your counselor, your colleges, and your religious and civic groups about scholarship opportunities. You should never pay for scholarship information. File the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). File the form as soon as possible. 2023-2024 applications will be open in December with new FASFA guidelines. (October 1st is the USUAL start of the submission process.) Visit www.fafsa.ed.gov . November Finalize and send any early decision or early action applications due this month. Have a parent, teacher, counselor, or other adult review the application before it is submitted. Every college will require a copy of your transcript from your high school. Follow your school’s procedure for sending transcripts. Make sure testing companies have sent your scores directly to the colleges to which you are applying. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) will be available this month, but cannot be completed before October 1. This is the form you will complete to find out what financial aid you are eligible to receive from the government. Ask your guidance office for a copy or visit www.fafsa.ed.gov This form should be filed online if at all possible. December Begin to organize regular decision applications and financial aid forms, which will be due in January and/or February. Register for the January SAT (If needed). It is the last one colleges will be able to consider for a senior. January Many popular and selective colleges will have application deadlines as early as January 1. Others have deadlines later in January and February. Keep track of and observe deadlines for sending in all required fees and paperwork. If necessary, register for the February ACT (some colleges will be able consider it). Ask your guidance office in January to send first semester transcripts to schools where you applied. At the end of the school year, they will need to send final transcripts to the college you will attend. It is time to file the FAFSA (no later than Feb 1). The sooner you complete it, the sooner you will have an idea of your financial aid options. Watch the mail for your Student Aid Report (SAR)—it should arrive four weeks after the FAFSA is filed. Feb/March/April While most of your applications will be complete and you are waiting to receive admission decisions, don’t slack in the classroom. The college that you do attend will want to see your second semester transcript. No Senioritis! Acceptance letters and financial aid offers will start to arrive. Review your acceptances, compare financial aid packages, and visit your final choices, especially if you haven’t already. May May 1 is the date when the college you plan to attend requires a commitment and deposit. When you’ve made your college decision, notify your counselor and the colleges. Send in your deposit by the postmark date of May 1. If you’ve been offered financial aid, accept the offer and follow the instructions given. Also notify schools you will not attend of your decision. Make sure that you have requested that your final transcript be sent to the school you will be attending. If you are “wait listed” by a college you really want to attend, visit, call and write the admission office to make your interest clear. Ask how you can strengthen your application.
