  • Mission

    The mission of Kids First Academy (KFA) is to positively shape the hearts and minds of a diverse scholar population with a classical curriculum that is academically rigorous and content-rich with an educational foundation for success in life. We strive to create a safe environment in which character is modeled and promoted, with the principles of virtuous living, traditional learning, and civic responsibility, and a community in which to build trusting relationships with others. We believe relationships are the key to our success. We accomplish this by partnering with parents to provide a rigorous, time-tested classical education. We strive to equip and train our teachers with academically excellent tools to instill a lifelong love of learning in our scholars.

    About Us

    United Charities of Las Vegas is a Nevada and Federal 501(c)(3) Charity. Kids First Academy is a subsidiary of United Charities of Las Vegas.

    Nevada ranks at the bottom of all states in their education of students. In Las Vegas, we have the fifth-largest school district in the United States serving over 330,000 students. Like most large school districts the minority and underserved students are the ones who suffer the most. Kids First Academy is a proposed charter school that will give low-income and minority parents an additional choice for their children's education. Kids First Academy will be diverse by design. We believe every child deserves a quality education regardless of economics, ethnicity, or Zip Code.

    Our education model is to provide young scholars with a Classical Education. The vision of Kids First Academy is to hold our leaders, teachers, and students to the highest level of integrity and accountability. We model what we teach. We embed social-emotional and character development in everything we do. We expect what we model. Our vision statement was formulated by reaching back into history and modeling the great thinkers and leaders on the character attributes that we look to teach and model in our school. we model and teach Curiosity, Dignity, Fortitude, Courage, Humility, and strive for Justice in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community.
