Mount Michael Benedictine

Who We Are

Mount Michael Benedictine School is a place where academic excellence, personal growth, and strong character development come together to create an exceptional learning environment for young men. Located on a 440-acre campus in Elkhorn, Nebraska, the school offers a close-knit and faith-filled environment where students are known, challenged, and supported.

Rooted in the Benedictine tradition and guided by the core values of community, hospitality, integrity, moderation, and service, Mount Michael fosters a culture that shapes students, academically, spiritually, and personally. The school’s rigorous college-preparatory curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, effective writing, and engagement across all disciplines, which prepares them for success at the university level and beyond. Faculty members serve not only as expert educators but as mentors, coaches, and role models who know their students well and encourage them to reach their full potential.

Mount Michael students consistently achieve strong academic results, with ACT scores and college placement rates well above national averages. Beyond the classroom, students grow through service, athletics, faith-based retreats, and extracurricular activities, that build confidence, leadership, and responsibility. The school’s residential component cultivates independence, leadership, and a deep sense of brotherhood, while day students are fully integrated into the school’s vibrant community.

The monastic members, alumni, parents, and the local community are an integral part of Mount Michael, offering unwavering support, active involvement, and a shared commitment to the school’s mission. Mount Michael is more than a school, it is a formative experience that shapes young men academically, spiritually, and personally for life.
