Journey Education has been a genuinely positive experience for our family. What stands out most is how intentional the staff is about meeting each student where they are, both academically and personally. There's a level of care and awareness here that goes beyond curriculum and shows up in how students are supported day to day. The environment feels calm, respectful, and focused. Communication has been clear and consistent, and when questions or needs arise, the team is responsive and thoughtful in how they handle them. What I appreciate most is that the school recognizes that students don't all learn or grow in the same way. There's flexibility and understanding built into the structure, which allows students to stay engaged without feeling pressured into a one-size-fits-all system. Overall, Journey Education feels like a place where students are seen, supported, and given the space to develop at their own pace. We've been grateful for the experience. I would love to see a foreign language offering added in the future. read more

Journey Education - My son on his first day of 5th grade standing on school grounds having his picture taken by a staff member who knows him. - Elementary Schools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

My son has been attending Journey Education since kindergarten and is now in 4th grade, and we have had such a wonderful experience. The small class sizes make a huge difference because every child really gets individual attention and support. The teachers truly care about the students and are very involved in helping them grow both academically and personally. One thing I really appreciate about the school is the strong sense of community. The staff is welcoming, communication with parents is great, and it genuinely feels like the teachers and administrators are invested in each child's success. My son has built confidence, strong friendships, and a love for learning during his time here. Journey also does a great job of focusing on character, kindness, and leadership, not just academics. It's a safe, supportive environment where kids can really thrive. I'm very grateful we found this school and highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing and academically strong place for their children. read more

Sent both my sons to Journey! They loved it! My niece just started kindergarten there. The great thing about Journey is that they let the kids excel. My boys got ahead in math and were able to take Calculus in high school. The class sizes are small enough that I feel like every kid gets the attention they need. They are amazing at dealing with kids with ADHD. read more

This is a great school and if your child needs extra attention, the small classrooms of 10 makes it easy for Journey to provide.

Students feel connected to staff, and the environment is very nurturing. Teachers have truly brought out the best in my child. The specialized academic programs have greatly boosted my child's academic confidence. The school is incredibly clean, engaging, and inviting. We are so grateful to Journey Education for their incredible support! The teachers here truly embrace each child, and we've seen so much growth in C & ]'s confidence and social skills this year. Love you all many more years to come. read more

My children been going here for years starting from kindergarten to 8th grade. The highlights are small class size, customized on student's academic levels, wonderful teachers, and family-like atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

We're so grateful to the friend who recommended this school! After transferring from another private school, we immediately saw the difference in how much care and attention each child receives. The small class sizes have allowed our daughter to thrive, and her teacher truly goes above and beyond to make learning fun and engaging. For the first time, she's genuinely excited to go to school and comes home eager to share what she's learned. We also love how the school tailors learning to each child's needs. Our daughter takes additional English classes with the kindergarteners to build a stronger foundation while still participating in her first-grade class. Thoughtful touches like "Monday Fun Day" help the kids ease back into learning after the weekend in a fun, lighthearted way. What really stands out to us is that the school values more than just academics--they also recognize empathy, gratitude, and kindness. We were so proud when our daughter was recognized for being kind to others. And let's talk about after-school care--if you've seen the Safekey, you know it can feel like a wild jungle out there. But at Journey, the after-school program consists of assisted homework time and well-supervised playtime, with teachers nearby to ensure a safe environment. We don't have to worry about bullying or inappropriate language--it's a space where kids can play, learn, and unwind in a positive way. The nurturing environment and dedicated staff have made such a positive impact on our daughter's learning, growth, and confidence. We couldn't be happier. read more

This school has been such a blessing for my son's life. A quality education with a perfect social setting. Small classroom sizes make this school a rare gem. I've been very happy with Journey and I believe other parents will be too. Richard W. read more

This school has been one of the best things to happen to our family! Our daughter is going on her 7th year at the school and our youngest our 2nd. The school is small enough to where there is amazing communication. The school staff all are so passionate and committed to the kids and that really shows. 10/10 recommend read more

Our son was a student for several years. We loved the small classroom sizes, less than 15 students per class. We appreciated the 4 day a week schedule as it allowed great flexibility for sports, travel and appointments. The Principal and VP were always accessible, no closed door policy. We also loved all the day and overnight field trips. Overall, it was a real pleasure read more

Small classes, focused learning. And best of all, my kid loves it. The staff creates a supportive environment where kids feel confident and excited to learn every day. read more

Absolutely love this school! It's so rare to be able to find classroom sizes that are less than 15 kids. The hands on ability has helped our son excel in all areas immensely. Definitely recommend 10/10 read more

My family and I are so happy with this school we can't say enough about it. My two daughters go to this amazing school they love it because is a small class where they get all the attention from the teacher. As parents we see a lot of growth academically in them and we feel comfortable with the school environment. We recommend this school 100% read more

We found Journey Education is a small community to be a part of that is rich with integrity and scholastic competence. As a nonprofit private school, it is a total diamond in the rough for Las Vegas families. Our son has transformed in the past 2 years of being there with reduced anxiety and grades he feels proud of. Parents are given many opportunities to contribute to the students' experience and that was a big plus for us. The teachers are full of purpose and care about the students. The owners of the school are involved and genuinely care about the contributions their nonprofit school makes in this world. Highly recommend this K-8 school if there is space to enroll. Also, they offer an unbeatable summer program (our 3rd summer yet). read more

I am part of the staff at Journey so am partially biased but with every reason. I have been in the field of education for years and Journey is the place for your child if you want them in a fantastic school with small class sizes, a loving faculty and students and a challenging curriculum that also builds the character of every child. We would love to meet you and your child, so please stop by and experience the Journey family feeling! read more

I decided to write a review in response to the other Yelp user who called the founder a "disinterested snob" and issued a few other insults. I wouldn't consider myself a friend of the founder, Mrs. Jensen (whom I can only assume is the founder who the nasty review was about). I haven't spoken with her since I was 12 or 13 years old when I attended her school over 10 years ago. I found Mrs. Jensen to be very kind and deeply passionate about what happens to her school and the children in it. I had a fantastic teacher while I was at journey, Mrs. Jackson, who did a wonderful job managing both my hyperactive tendencies and her responsibilities as a 7th grade teacher. I haven't kept up with the school since I left, but my experience was positive, and I would encourage all readers of this review to summarily disregard the mean-spirited slander posted to this page by that other commentator. Best, Nathan read more

What a fantastic school! Journey combines academics, arts, performance, fun and a sense of humor to education. They teach to the child and don't water it down or leave anyone behind. This organization is a breath of fresh air for the Las Vegas community! Our son has grown leaps and bounds since attending Journey Education. read more

Journey Education has the best school my kids have ever gone to! The class sizes are small so all the kids get one on one attention! All the teachers and staff are amazing! They really know and care about your child! They give each child the help and direction they need. I have been nothing but impressed with this school. read more

We highly recommend this school. They have been so wonderful and the virtual classes were streamlined and easy for our child to navigate. Dr. Taggart and her team helped us understand the curriculum and academic planning enabled our daughter achieved her maximum potential. read more

Thank you, Dr. Marlin and all the wonderful benefactors for the new play ground ! After two years of dedication and fundraising. Dr. Marlin made the final contribution allowing the playground to be constructed and completed over the Christmas break. The construction of the playground was headed up by Journeys Parent Organization JPO headed by Kricket Blackwell and overseeing engineerJim Smith. Journey education provides character compassion, academics and structured environment. Children are encouraged to develop core values specifically to build self-confidence and leadership skills. The academic staff headed by principle,,Cindy Jensen was master of ceremonies and had a student lead the families and visitors in the pledge of allegiance. The ribbon cutting was lead by a lucky student. read more

We have been going to Journey Education for the last 4 years and I can honestly say it is a wonderful school!! Both my boys have been in Journey since 2nd grade and Kinder- if I could do it again I would still have them in Journey. Everyone there the teachers, principal, administrators, staff, and assistants are simply amazing human beings and beautiful souls. They are loving, caring and supportive in every way. The school not only focus on academia but also compassion, respect, and leadership. Though it is a small school (which is a huge plus) this schools is not missing anything. The students come out well rounded well adjusted little scholars! I cannot say enough good things about Journey, our family is so grateful for this school. read more

A friend told me about Journey, so I did some research. Being in the food industry, I work Tuesday thru Saturday and am off Sunday and Monday. Journey's school week is only mandatory Tuesday through Friday, so I'm able to send my daughter to Chinese school on Saturdays without feeling like a tiger mom sending her kid to school 6 days a week. It's perfect! My daughter is in kindergarten and what I love about this school is the small class size. They also teach all grades their subjects at the same time, so if a child is more accelerated, he/she can go to one of the upper grades and not be held back simply by their age. But mainly they stay in their home age group so it's not a stigma socially. I love that my child gets pushed in first grade but generally gets to stay with her age kids since she's so small already. Someone mentioned not having extra curricular activities...they really get the families involved by having the older grades host carwashes and yard sales. It's such a small school of course there wouldn't be sports teams, that is just nonsensical Also, they have before and after care. They play more, and also do their homework so if I have a longer work day, my kid's homework is done when I get her so I don't have to worry about it. Love!! read more

I appreciate this school. I trust them with my children. We looked at a lot of schools before picking Journey. What drew us to the school is that each child is placed in the class that suits their needs. Our kids go to the next grade up math class where they are challenged, but stay in their grade's writing class where they are also challenged. My kids love going to school. If you are looking for private school, Journey is competitively priced and worth every penny. read more

All three of my kids attend Journey. I love the small classes and the fact that because of that our kids aren't ignored like most of the 30 + kid classes out there. Another plus is that the kids are taught based of their level. If your kid is at a higher math lever for example, he/she will be in that higher level match classroom. The teachers are phenomenal. I know how my kids are doing in school always. The teachers are always reachable. They use gradelink so I'm always able to see what their grades are in all subjects. I absolutely love this school. read more

Both my children attended Journey School. This school is a gem in our school system. Excellent curriculum, caring smart teachers, phenominal administration, family and community orientated. Best part very small class sizes. I could not ask for a better more affordable school for my children. read more

My daughter attends Journey and we couldn't be happier. After having a not so great experience at another private school and paying more than triple the price, we were referred to Journey and are so thankful. The class sizes are small, the children get one on one attention, and it truly feels like a family. Thank you Journey for taking such great care of my daughter. read more

I can't say enough good things about this school!! I am so impressed with the curriculum. My grand daughter is reading books to us at bedtime and she is only in kindergarten.Such an impressive learning environment only 7 kids in her class. love them :) read more

My son has loved Journey and we love it too!! Small classroom size with great individual care. Here you are one if the family!! Highly recommend it!!! Come check it out!! read more

My son attended Journey education as a kindergartner for the 14-15 school year and we absolutely loved it. The class size is very small so he received a ton of personal attention. The teachers are excellent and go above and beyond. There is ZERO bullying and the older students are always kind and helpful to the younger ones. They also teach the children the pledge and say it every morning which I love. We are moving out of the state and leaving Journey is one of the hardest things about it. We absolutely love it!! read more

Journey Education one of those rare schools where children feel both challenged and loved at the same time. It is the end of the school year and my Kindergarten twins can READ and WRITE at a 2nd Grade level. Mrs. Coon who teaches Kindergarten and 1st Grade is the most amazing teacher for that age group that I have ever seen. She is like a grandma who has complete control over the room and creates an amazing learning experience for the kids. They have also had great field trips this year to the Discovery Museum, Shark Tank and even been taught by a genuine Astronaut. Check it out, the learning environment is better than Las Vegas Day School and Meadows at a fraction of the cost. read more

My son, like all children, was born with a "love of learning". As he started progressing in the school district, he became bored, complacent, and restless. His "love of learning" quickly deteriorated and began to manifest as behavioral issues that included acting out and an apathy toward learning. The answer was simple. Find a school that challenged him enough to feed his "love of learning", acknowledge his individuality, and guide him to "do the right thing". I found this in Journey. Journey brings out the best in every child by tapping into their individual strengths, while creating an environment of kindness, responsibility, and leadership. The small student/teacher ratio allows students to progress at a rate tailored to their individual needs. I am so grateful for our Journey family. read more

The reviews written here were probably composed by the principal and her family members. This is a family operated/attended "school" with primarily unaccredited teachers. The principal is a detached, disinterested snob who somehow got Anthony Marlon, the founder of Sierra Health, to buy into her vision. There are no extra curricular activities, no sports, music or art programs. Go elsewhere. read more

Absolutely amazing school. We switched to Journey Education from a more "prominent" K-12 private school for both our boys and could not be happier. Caring, dedicated teachers, and the most positive learning environment imaginable. Instead of being ground down with busy work, our boys are actively engaged in classes measured against their individual abilities and as a result they have become more confident and happier than I ever imagined. We are so blessed to have found this hidden gem. read more

My son and daughter attend Journey. I LOVE it! I have never been to a school that has such a positive atmosphere where every teacher and staff member truly care about the success of your child in and out of school. The class sizes are small providing for individualized attention. Each child is given their appropriate level of help whether it be easier work, harder work or right on their level. The teachers adjust the difficulty based upon each individual child. Along with the great loving staff, the small class sizes and adjustable curriculum, Journey is one big family. As a parent, I love that I can drop by the school anytime and many parents are there too helping with whatever needs to be done. We even hang out with many of the families and staff outside of school. Everyone has such great values! This school is like a home away from home for my kids. read more

Our experience at Journey Education has been exceptional. The teachers have truly been invested in my children's education and their growth as learners. Adjustments are made as needed to meet the needs of the individual child. Small class sizes and leveled learning have enabled my children to gain confidence in their academic abilities. The administration is open minded and think outside the box to make Journey a successful educational experience for all of the students. Journey is committed to the whole children. They are taught value lessons, communication and leadership skills. We love Journey Education! read more
