Get in TouchSelf-management and self-governance are celebrated daily by learners who use 21st Century skills to tackle real world projects, inspired by classic heroes in a tightly bound community with extremely high standards.
Learn More About Our StudiosMore than ever, parents in the Omaha area of Nebraska are looking for alternative, independent private school options to provide the best education for their children. From our Montessori-based Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade to eventual high school apprenticeships, we are reimagining 21st-century education.
Our micro-school exists to empower character-filled human beings for life. Our graduates will be the leaders our country needs to help America finally live up to her ideals, allowing freedom of religion and individual liberties to live on for future generations, and bringing personal responsibility back to the home, the workforce, and society as a whole.
We offer a truly unique approach to school. We move beyond the traditional tools of lectures, homework, high-stakes tests, and grades. At our top-rated micro-school, students in Pre-K and up learn in collaborative classrooms of multi-age learners. Our flexible, self-paced approach challenges each student with their differentiated learning plan and inspires them through real-world projects.
Learners from all backgrounds thrive at Big Sky, an Acton Academy.
