Why Us
Nasri Academy for Gifted Children’s faculty and staff instill the love of learning through discovery and innovation in students, helping them to develop their critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, self-esteem, resiliency and passions. Gifted children have specialized social, emotional, intellectual and academic needs. Our program is designed to focus on the whole child addressing all of these needs. Gifted children need a peer group with whom they are able to be their true selves, sharing their love of learning, inquiry, problem solving and joy, while in an environment that is socially and emotionally safe with adults that understand the complexity of giftedness. Our staff is knowledgeable in working with the unique needs of gifted children who develop asynchronously with some areas being well above age level and others being at the developmental level. Our faculty and staff are able to connect with and provide the skills needed to address the intellectual, academic, social, and emotional needs in a positive and joyful environment designed specifically for gifted children.
Our Story
Bita Nasri is a Las Vegas business owner, wife, and mother of gifted children. On her journey to find a school for her son, she toured many different schools and was left frustrated with her options. After devoting two years to research and investigation about gifted children and their educational needs, she felt the need to do something.
In her search, Bita discovered the National Association of Gifted Children that provided her the ability to connect with other parents and schools for gifted children. While finding several wonderful programs out of state, moving was not an option. She concluded that Las Vegas desperately needed a school that could provide a full time, appropriate educational environment serving the needs of gifted children. With this realization, Bita’s passion to provide a solution has brought to life the opening of Nasri Academy for Gifted Children in Las Vegas.
Nasri Academy for Gifted Children was founded in 2016. The school is located on its own campus and serves children ages 2 years to 8th grade.
