How families get in
Admission is through the College of Southern Nevada High School application process. The school is not assigned by residential zone, and this process is separate from both a regular CSN college application and the CCSD magnet lottery.
- The program is designed for incoming 11th- and 12th-grade students who are on track for graduation.
- Apply through the official CSN High School application linked from the school website.
- Review factors may include academic record, course rigor, attendance and behavior, test information, and the student statement.
- Confirm required uploads, including whether a transcript, attendance record, personal statement or IEP/504 documentation is needed.
- Review current campus-choice, waitlist and late-application rules before applying.
Important
- Admission is not guaranteed.
- No address zone places a student at this school automatically.
- Use the official school website for current dates and requirements.
Application rules and required documents can change. Confirm the current process directly with CSN High School.
