Helen J Stewart School

Helen J Stewart School is a Las Vegas public school serving students ages 6 to 22 with severe intellectual and physical disabilities, with age brackets of 6 to 11, 12 to 18, and 19 to 22 covering elementary age through young adult transition students. The program list includes adapted physical education, art, music, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, vocational programs, community based instruction, and Project SEARCH, a workplace transition program for older students.

The school day runs Monday through Friday from 6:15 AM to 2:45 PM, and the school is closed Saturday and Sunday. It follows a School Year calendar rather than operating through the summer. On site, the school has a school nurse, a social worker, and a library, supporting both the medical and educational needs of its student population.

The school is located at 2375 E Viking Rd in the 89169 zip code in Las Vegas. Families can call (702) 799-5588 with questions, and the school's website has additional detail on enrollment and programs. As a Clark County School District public school, the price range is listed as Free. The school is special needs friendly, with accommodations that include support for severe intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities, along with the adapted physical education, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychological services, community based instruction, and vocational training already noted in the program list.

For families of students with significant intellectual or physical disabilities, this school offers a full day program built specifically around therapy integration and life skills, rather than a general education setting with pull out services. The Project SEARCH program is particularly relevant for older students preparing to transition into employment after graduation, since it combines classroom instruction with workplace based learning. Families interested in enrollment should contact the school directly or work through CCSD's special education placement process, since public school enrollment for a specialized site like this typically requires district coordination beyond a simple sign up.
