Our Schools

The elementary school uses an inquiry-based learning structure with an exciting new emphasis on STEM classes focusing on aerospace, aviation, and technology related fields of interest. By highlighting the development of vocabulary, utilizing RIGGS, a brain-based approach to English literacy, and comprehension skills, our students can increase fluency while reading, writing, and spelling. Using explorations and mathematical structures, our students are taught to use prior knowledge and skills learned to solve real life problems in mathematics, engineering, and science. Students also work in small groups and with partners to learn to collaborate and communicate with peers to build on each member’s strength and to build relationships within the classroom and the school.

Innovations’ middle school lays the foundation for developing and maintaining core academic skills, strong note taking and test taking skills, intellectual self-discipline, and higher-level problem-solving skills in preparation for admittance to high school. Students are encouraged to use the content knowledge obtained in their core classes with explorations and hands-on use of the scientific process skills for robotics, coding, astronomy, engineering, and science. Middle school students are introduced to high levels of mathematics and science integrated lessons to foster critical thinking while becoming engaged learners who are able to transfer knowledge learned in the classrooms to application levels to solve real world problems. Students also work in small groups and with partners to learn to collaborate and communicate with peers to build on each member’s strength and to build relationships within the classroom and the school.

The high school is a challenging four-year curriculum program preparing students for graduation using college and career readiness expectations. Core requirements are set forth by the State of Nevada for diploma types and involve mastery of content, high test scores, and passing core classes for credit accumulation. Students are prepared to be leaders in the community while incorporating high academic standards and student-centered learning to become engaged and informed citizens. Innovations’ students are encouraged to use the content knowledge obtained in mandatory classes with explorations and hands-on use of the scientific process skills for robotics, aviation, cybersecurity, engineering, mathematics, and integrated science, mathematics, and technology enhanced learning. Students also work in small groups and with partners to learn to collaborate and communicate with peers to build on each member’s strength and to build relationships within the classroom and the school.
