Baby University – NCA (also marketed as NCA–Baby University–Noble Collegiate Academy) is a private bilingual school in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, serving students from nursery and preschool through grade 12.[1] The school combines the early childhood and elementary programs branded as "Baby University" with the K–12 program Noble Collegiate Academy.[2]
Baby University – NCA offers a bilingual English–Mandarin curriculum, small class sizes, and an accelerated program in core academic subjects.[3] The Nevada Department of Education has granted Noble Collegiate Academy (the K–12 program located at the Oakey campus) a four-year private school license through March 31, 2029.[3]
History
Baby University – NCA traces its origins to 1996, when the school was established in Las Vegas as a small private institution that has since expanded across the nursery through grade 12 levels.[1] Over nearly three decades, the school has developed from an early childhood program into a combined preschool, elementary, middle, and high school under the Noble Collegiate Academy name.[1][4]
In March 2025 the Nevada State Board of Education renewed Noble Collegiate Academy’s private school license for a four-year period, noting that the school had operated for 29 years and met the statutory and regulatory requirements for private schools in the state.[3] The Board’s analysis describes the school’s program as a “transformative learning experience” that uses bilingual instruction, small class sizes, and an accelerated curriculum in each core subject area.[3]
Campuses and organization
Baby University – NCA operates multiple campuses in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. As of 2025, the school lists four campuses in Las Vegas and Henderson, including locations at Lindell, Oakey, Spring Mountain, and Henderson.[2] The main K–12 campus, Noble Collegiate Academy, is located at 6000 West Oakey Boulevard in Las Vegas.[1][3]
The Nevada Department of Education lists Kenowoyo Education, LLC, as the owner of Noble Collegiate Academy.[3] A related nonprofit organization, the Kenowoyo Education Foundation, is registered as a 501(c)(3) educational fundraising and distribution entity in Las Vegas and shares the same Oakey Boulevard address as the school.[5]
Baby University – NCA is included in state-level discussions of private education and instructional materials. The Nevada Commission on Minority Affairs’ 2023 annual report references Noble Collegiate Academy and Baby University in its summary of private school licensing actions and instructional materials review activities.[6]
Academics
Noble Collegiate Academy offers an accelerated curriculum in core academic subjects, including mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies, alongside courses in logic, coding, and research skills.[3] The school emphasizes hands-on learning, individualised instruction, and small class sizes in order to tailor academic expectations to each student.[3][1]
According to Private School Review, the school enrolls approximately 243 students across nursery/preschool through grade 12, with an average class size of 12 students and a student–teacher ratio of 5:1.[1] The same source reports that the school offers support for language-based learning differences and operates summer programs on a weekly and multi-week basis.[1]
Bilingual and multicultural education
Baby University – NCA operates as a bilingual English–Mandarin school. The Nevada Department of Education notes that Noble Collegiate Academy “is bilingual and offers instruction in both English and Chinese,” with small class sizes that allow teachers to individualize the learning experience.[3] The school’s own materials describe a multicultural learning environment that highlights early exposure to linguistic and cultural differences as part of its educational philosophy.[2][1]
Mandarin language instruction is offered beginning in early childhood, with students in the elementary and secondary programs expected to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in both English and Chinese.[4]
Enrichment and extracurricular programs
Private School Review lists Baby University – NCA’s enrichment offerings as including robotics classes, arts and music programs such as canvas painting, dance, piano, and sketching, as well as sports opportunities in ballet, cheer, and dance.[1] The Nevada Department of Education notes that the school’s curriculum includes music and arts and that students have opportunities for international field trips.[3]
The school also offers after-school classes in subjects such as coding, mathematics, chess, and Olympiad-style science, which are designed to prepare students for academic competitions and to extend learning beyond the regular school day.[1][4]
Student body and faculty

Private School Review reports that the school employs 48 classroom teachers overall, resulting in a student–teacher ratio of approximately 5:1 and an average class size of 12 students.[1] According to statewide rankings compiled by the same source, Baby University – NCA is among the Nevada private preschools with the highest percentage of faculty holding advanced degrees, with 90 percent of its faculty reported to have graduate-level qualifications.[1][7]
Licensing and oversight
