Basic Academy

Basic Academy is a public school in Henderson at 400 Palo Verde Dr that serves students ages 6 to 18, in two brackets, 6 to 12 and 13 to 18, and lists STEM/Coding as its primary subcategory alongside a wide range of academic, arts, and athletic programs.

Programs offered include STEM education, international studies, JROTC, debate, robotics, and academic decathlon, plus school sports covering football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball, track and field, golf, swimming, tennis, and wrestling. Arts and activity options include art, band, choir, drama, orchestra, photography, and language classes in Spanish, French, German, Latin, and ASL, along with clubs like gaming, mock trial, and model UN.

The campus includes athletic fields, gymnasiums, classrooms, science labs, computer labs, and a library.

Basic Academy follows a school-year calendar rather than running year-round, with hours Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. It is closed on weekends.

As a public school program, Basic Academy delivers this range of academics and activities without a program cost to families, consistent with how the school describes its STEM/Coding education as available without a fee.

Instruction and communication are offered in English and Spanish, which matters for Spanish-speaking families navigating enrollment or program details.

Given the breadth of offerings here, this is less a single youth activity and more a full public school with an extensive after-school and elective ecosystem. Families interested in a specific program, whether that is JROTC, robotics, a particular sport, or the language options, should confirm current enrollment boundaries and program availability directly, since public school programs can shift by school year and rely on enrollment zones. For enrollment or program questions, call (702) 799-8000.

The presence of both JROTC and Model UN alongside more traditional sports and arts options points to a school built for students with a wide range of interests, not just those focused on athletics or academics alone, and the science and computer labs support the STEM/Coding focus specifically.
