College of So NV HS West

The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) High School West is a specialized dual-enrollment high school program located on the Charleston campus of the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas. Unlike a traditional high school, this institution operates as a public charter school designed for juniors and seniors who are looking to jumpstart their college education. Students attending the school have the unique opportunity to take college-level courses that simultaneously satisfy high school graduation requirements and earn credits toward an associate degree or a vocational certificate, often at little to no cost for tuition.

The school is best suited for self-motivated, academically focused students who are ready to transition into a college environment before graduating high school. By immersing themselves in the campus culture of CSN, students gain early exposure to higher education expectations, utilize college facilities like libraries and labs, and work toward their future career goals with a significant head start. Because the program requires a high level of personal responsibility and maturity, it serves as a bridge between secondary education and the professional or university world.
