Empowering South Omaha students and families for a brighter future.

All children deserve a high quality education in a safe and supportive environment.

Saxena Academy will be a nonprofit, free, private, independent elementary school serving students in the South Omaha area.  Our mission is to bridge the learning and achievement gap for children living in a section of town which has historically posted some of the lowest proficiency scores for reading, math and science in Nebraska.  In an environment which supports health and wellness of the whole student, we will provide an extended academic calendar, small class size, and an innovative curriculum. 

School Choice Benefits Everyone

We believe that families should be able to choose the best learning environment for their children. We are not a charter school (which are not allowed in Nebraska) but will provide families living in South Omaha with a high-quality option for elementary education.  We believe the presence of school choice will benefit both the individual families we serve as well as the education system in South Omaha as a whole.  


Saxena Academy is DIFFERENT

Saxena Academy will be a unique option, as it will be an independent school and not affiliated with any religious organizations or agendas.  Key differentiators will include: 

  • Small class size (approx 15 students per classroom/ 30 per grade)

  • Focus on individualized and mastery learning

  • School uniforms

  • Extended school year to prevent summer learning loss

  • Curriculum focused on improving math and reading proficiency

  • Facilities and Services that address the needs of the whole child and family

  • Focus on family engagement

Support for the Community

Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning.
