Your school. Your choice. Our mission.

Nebraska’s nonpublic school association, serving members across type and denomination.

You’re not alone.

We get it. No matter where you serve in the nonpublic school ecosystem, it can be overwhelming.

Not in the sense you can’t handle it. Overwhelming in that there’s more you want to do for students and families, but you have competing pressures from the outside.

These demands pull you away from your highest priorities and those you serve don’t receive everything you wanted to give.

On top of it all, nonpublic schools across types and denominations are battling detrimental policies coming from Lincoln and Washington, DC - policies that violates your school’s beliefs and education practices.

Good news, it doesn’t have to be that way!

We advance your interests

Like we said, it doesn’t have to be that way. NCNS brings all Nebraska nonpublic schools, across types and denominations, together as a unified force to create value for member schools, partner organizations, and families. Let us help you lift the load, so you can serve your school community.

K-12 Nonpublic Schools

Elementary, middle, and secondary nonpublic schools across the state are our members. We provide services for school leaders, boards, and educators.

Partner Organizations

The overarching entities that lead or provide services to nonpublic schools are our partners. We provide services and assistance to expand their reach and effectiveness.

Families

A school is an empty building without students. We inform families of their local nonpublic school options and work to expand their choices.

The Nebraska Coalition of Nonpublic Schools began with a group of nonpublic school administrators and advocates deciding now is the time to come together to defend and promote nonpublic education in the Good Life.

Nonpublic education is a vibrant and vital segment of the education landscape in Nebraska. We are for your school and your educational choices.
