EKA is a project based K-12 public charter school comprised of three campuses. Early elementary (K-2) building is located on Community Lane, just off of Tropicana Avenue. Later elementary (3-6) building is located off of Sandhill Rd. near the corner of Tropicana Avenue. Secondary (7-12) building is located off Whitney Mesa Drive near Ramrod.

This year, on June 4th, 2010, eleven Explore Knowledge Academy students stood before their family, their advisors, and their fellow student body as they received their diplomas of graduation.  Christopher, Jessica, Alexander, Celina, David, Hunter, Javall, Delaney, Stephanie, Nathaniel, and Morgan, congratulations to you on your achievement and we wish you well in your future accomplishments!

The Explore Knowledge Academy Board of Trustees in unanimity have chosen Abbe Mattson to fill the position of Executive Director at EKA.

Ms. Mattson has worked at EKA from 2004 to 2009.  During that time she had the opportunity to work with both the Elementary program as a substitute teacher, and the secondary program as long term substitute and full time advisor.

Ms. Mattson is very experienced in the philosophies of EKA.  While working at EKA, she has had the chance to work with EdVisions and is familiar with both the EdVisions instructional model as well as the governance model.  These two models have had great influence on EKA and her experience with them will further solidify EKA's excellent programs.

Ms. Mattons is familiar with this school's charter, with Nevada's statutes and regulations regarding public schools and public charter schools, and brings with her the business experience of a business owner.
