Jesuit Academy

Located in North Omaha, Jesuit Academy offers 75 young men in grades 4-8 a transformative educational opportunity that encourages them to claim ownership of their lives and develop themselves as responsible leaders. Our school is guided by Catholic principles and these basics of Jesuit education: Gospel Values, Academic Excellence, Self-Discipline, Religious Diversity, and being Men for Others. Jesuit Academy is one of 22 Jesuit Nativity Middle Schools in the United States.

One of the guiding principles of these schools is to provide a faith-based education that breaks the cycle of poverty in underserved communities across America. The model includes an extended school day, an extended school year, and a tailored school/class enrollment size. Founded in 1996, Jesuit Academy offers its students a transformative education that integrates a rigorous academic curriculum with co-curricular programs in athletics, the arts, community service, cultural-enrichment, social skills, and spirituality.

Jesuit Academy is committed to walking with our students throughout their educational journey. Our graduates have attended various secondary schools – more then two-thirds of each graduating class have earned full scholarships to college preparatory schools – and we boast a 98% overall high school graduation rate. More than 91% of graduates have enrolled in college, enlisted in the military or entered the workforce immediately following high school graduation.
