Established with a mission to serve underserved populations in the Washoe County School District, Encompass Academy integrates academic achievement, social-emotional support, enrichment, and personalized pathways into every aspect of its programming. Encompass Academy emphasizes individual health, well-being, and community collaboration to prepare students for success in college, career, and life.

At the heart of Encompass Academy’s vision is its commitment to fostering fearless, resourceful, and compassionate leaders. The school’s innovative programs include hands-on culinary classes led by a certified chef and nurse, a comprehensive partnership with the Nevada Museum of Art to offer students authentic artistic experiences, and unique opportunities in sports, leadership, and clubs that build both confidence and character.

Through close collaboration with organizations like the Redfield Foundation, Boys & Girls Club, and Project 150, Encompass Academy creates a nurturing environment where every student has the resources to thrive.

The Encompass Learning PASE framework (Personal Pathways, Academic Achievement, Social-Emotional Learning, and Enrichment) inspires students to embody integrity, endurance, and excellence. By developing strong connections with families, local organizations, and businesses, Encompass Academy strengthens the fabric of the Reno community.
