Public Online and Flexible Schedule Charter High School that Mentors At-Risk Students Opens Fall 2024 in Las Vegas
Las Vegas – July 15, 2024 – ThrivePoint Academy, a free, public charter school, has announced the opening of its first location in Nevada and marked it with a ribbon-cutting event and open house for the local community on July 10. Opening in time for the 2024/2025 school year, ThrivePoint Academy is unique in its approach in helping students who are struggling in traditional school earn their high school diploma and putting them on the path to their Next Big Step post-graduation.
With six locations in Arizona and additional schools in California, ThrivePoint is an in-person and online school, designed to support students through a personalized approach, emphasizing credit recovery, mastery-based learning, and access to caring staff that prioritizes the needs and goals of each student. ThrivePoint provides students with a personal coach/mentor to help them with their studies, and to nurture their future career interests with a unique curriculum offering technical and trade skills, internships, job opportunities with local community partners, or a clear path to either college or the military, depending on their interests and goals.
“ThrivePoint is going to help many students – up to age 21 – who have faced challenges and seek the opportunity to graduate high school,” said ThrivePoint Academy Principal Vincent Medina. “We are thrilled to be opening and to work with multiple students who need a helping hand in school and who want to achieve success in their future careers.”
ThrivePoint Academy’s new location is at 3802 Meadows Lane in Las Vegas, in close proximity to the Springs Preserve and a YMCA location. The school can accept student enrollments monthly and will have many collaborations with nonprofit community partners that assist youth.
With Nevada continuing to face higher-than-average drop-out rates among high school students, ThrivePoint prides itself on moving students toward high school graduation and a future post-graduation, rather than allowing them to simply drop out. Year-over-year, ThrivePoint experiences an increase in high school graduates that earn credits at an appropriate pace and matriculate into the local workforce, trade schools, college and universities, or military.
