Welcome to Las Vegas Charter
School of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (LVCSD) Website!
Thank you for your interest in the Las
Vegas Charter School of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
By way of introduction, I represent the
Board of Directors for the LVCSD. We are a group of people comprised of
educators, professionals, parents and Deaf Community members/leaders in
the field of Deafness. We share a common unifying goal to open a
Charter school in the Las Vegas area (Clark County) for the Deaf and
Hard of Hearing children. Children who attend will experience success
in their education and lives, thus enriching the community.
The LVCSD Board envisions a Charter
school that provides a rich environment instructing students in American
Sign Language, English, reading, writing, mathematics and speech/lipreading
(lipreading is an important skill to have, but it is not an education)
that follows Nevada Department of Education Standards. Deaf and hearing
individuals must be well-trained, and have excellent
communication and language skills to become highly qualified effective
teachers. Students will learn about the Deaf and hearing culture, which
prepares them to be successful in the hearing world.
In September of 2008, LVCSD successfully
moved into their new home where Deaf and Hard of Hearing children have
an exciting and rewarding educational experience! We at LVCSD intend to
become a model school for the state of Nevada and see that dream
currently in motion.
As there is so much more information to
learn, please do continue browsing our website menu and learn about our
various programs. For interested donors and investors, we will provide
LVCSD Business Plan and brochures for your information.
I look forward to meeting and hearing
from you. We appreciate your support in order to continue attaining our
future goals for future success.
