More About Hope Vegas Acceleration Academies
-
HVAA will serve students in institutional high schools who have been referred to us by their transitional specialist.
-
Mentors, content coaches, career coaches, and life coaches aim to foster a nurturing environment that addresses non-academic barriers faced by young adults in need of additional support.
Our staff of certified teachers and mentors provide wrap-around support for students, who we call Graduation Candidates.
-
- Graduation Candidate Advocates (GCAs) implement motivational strategies to ensure students are attending the academy, provide curriculum support, and address non-academic barriers.
- Life Coaches develop learning pathways, behavior, and transition plans to improve student achievement.
- Career Coaches lead in the development of Personalized Learning Plans for students, support and coach students for required state assessments and exams, and ensure that every student masters the content on the path to high school graduation and post-secondary success.
- Engagement Coaches provide a positive presence in the academy community to maintain an orderly and safe learning environment for all.
Our collaborative approach provides students with support for understanding life challenges while developing their own personal growth plan, self-regulation strategies, and paths beyond graduation.
Assessments specifically tailored for students requiring targeted support are implemented, facilitating a more informed and responsive approach to student interventions.
Staff are trained in restorative practices, nonverbal and verbal de-escalation, and provide positive behavioral interventions and support.
Laptops and headsets will be provided at the academies and students can check out a laptop when they want to work from home.

In order to attend Hope Vegas Acceleration Academy, eligible students and families must meet with their transition specialist. If HVAA is recommended, the student/guardian must complete the transition forms and this Hope Vegas online application.
-
The academy learning environment is set up with intentionality for our students. The setup includes clear lines of sight, adaptive layouts, flexible seating and standing desks, multi-textured furniture, and communal seating.
-
- Each student is expected to work on their courses 24 hours a week, either virtually or on site.
- On a case-by-case basis, some students will be enrolled exclusively in virtual classes.
-
If the student demonstrates good attendance and academic progress/credit recovery with no major behavioral issues while enrolled, students can transition to Clark County Acceleration Academies or back to their home school.
