Newton Learning Center

Newton Learning Center is a K-12 special education school licensed by the Nevada Department of Education, serving students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and similar disabilities who benefit from individualized instruction. With a small student body of just 40 students and a 5-teacher faculty, the school maintains low student-to-teacher ratios that support personalized learning and attention to each child's unique needs.

The school operates as a social-cognitive learning environment that prioritizes social-emotional development alongside academics. Students receive individualized academic programming tailored to their learning style and pace, while the structured, supportive setting helps build social skills and emotional resilience. The school also supports students with ADD/ADHD and other learning differences, with staff trained to work with neurodivergent learners.

Located in Reno, Newton Learning Center offers flexible admissions with rolling enrollment year-round. Tuition starts at $11,000 annually, with multiple funding options available including district placement at school district expense, scholarship grants, ABLE Accounts, and FAST Tuition Assistance (open June each year).
