Young Women's Leadership Academy of Las Vegas

Young Women's Leadership Academy of Las Vegas is a tuition-free public charter school at 3415 South Mojave Road in Las Vegas, zip code 89121, serving girls ages 11 to 18, covering middle school and high school grades. It follows a school-year calendar and is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., closed on weekends, like a traditional school schedule rather than a drop-in program.

The academic program is college-preparatory and STEM-focused, covering English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, World Languages, Fine Arts, and Digital Literacy alongside leadership development. Beyond the core curriculum, students can join a Robotics Club, Girls Who Code, Debate Club, Art Club, Music Club, Drama Club, and Book Club, plus athletics including Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Field, and Flag Football.

Because it is a public charter school, tuition is free, which sets it apart from most STEM-focused programs in this directory that charge per-class or per-semester fees. The school describes its facilities as including athletic facilities and a supportive learning environment.

The school lists specific special needs support, including special education support, learning disability support, inclusive programs, and IEP support, which matters for families evaluating whether a charter school can meet an individualized education plan already in place for their daughter.

No phone number is on file for this listing, so families interested in enrollment, the application process, or specific program details like tryouts for a sports team or requirements for Girls Who Code should visit ywlalv.org directly.

Because this is a full school rather than an after-school activity, enrollment is a bigger commitment than a single class or camp, and families should treat this listing as a school option to research fully rather than a quick drop-in activity to sign up for.

The academy's primary category on file is Education, with STEM and Coding as the subcategory, which fits its emphasis on college-preparatory coursework and technology-focused clubs like Girls Who Code and Robotics Club alongside the standard core academic subjects.
