About Us
Sage Collegiate Public Charter School is a new K-8 charter school in Las Vegas. We will open in August 2021 with Kinder, 1 st , and 2 nd grade, growing one year until we are at capacity with 8 th grade in 2027-28.

We hold high expectations for ourselves as a staff and leadership team, as well as for our scholars. We balance structure and zest in an intentional culture designed to ensure all children are on a path to get to and through college and be able to have a life of opportunity. One of our core tenets is ‘College starts in Kindergarten,' and we have an unequivocal belief that all students regardless of race, ethnicity, zip code, or socioeconomic status deserve an excellent education. We also ‘Lead with Urgency,' another core tenet. Time is a non-renewable resource. Our scholars have but a single year in each grade. They cannot afford for us to take our time or for change to come at an incremental pace. We seek instructional leaders and staff that believe the same.
