About Global Community

Global Community is a small CCSD campus for high school students who are new to the United States and students with related newcomer profiles. School materials emphasize English language development, cultural transition and family collaboration.

Students work toward core graduation requirements and receive post-secondary planning support. School materials also note support for students with limited or interrupted formal schooling.

This is not a zoned comprehensive high school or a standard district magnet or CTA lottery school. Families should confirm current eligibility and placement steps directly with the registrar.

How families get in

Global Community uses a specialized enrollment process for newcomer and English learner students. An address does not automatically place a student at this school.

Contact the registrar to confirm eligibility and required documents.
Complete the current CCSD registration process. New-to-district families typically begin through the district registration portal.
Prepare identity, immunization, residence and prior school records or transcripts.
Ask whether foreign transcript evaluation is needed for placement.
Keep the assigned comprehensive high school as a backup option.

Start with the registrar

Call (702) 799-8850.
Ask how newcomer or English learner eligibility is determined.
Confirm current space, deadlines and enrollment steps.

Eligibility rules, capacity and program offerings can change. Do not rely on old enrollment counts or social-media capacity claims.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

A newcomer or English learner needs a small campus focused on language development and cultural transition.
The family values intensive English support and graduation guidance over a large elective menu.
The family is prepared to work closely with staff on records, placement and post-secondary planning.

Think twice when

The student may not meet the school's newcomer or English learner focus.
The student wants a traditional comprehensive campus with full NIAA athletics and a broad CTE, arts and elective menu.
The family needs a guaranteed neighborhood assignment without contacting a specialized campus.

Confirm eligibility, transportation, athletics, clubs, after-school support and current course offerings directly with the school.
