In the Omaha Public Schools, we prepare our students for life in a world where understanding and appreciation of diversity are essential. Our programs are just as diverse as the students we serve. We have Nebraska`s largest special education program for students who have various disabilities. Our magnet schools offer special instruction in math, performing arts, languages, communications, economics, technology, university partnerships, science, engineering and international studies. These programs have become so popular with parents and students that selection is now a coveted honor. The Omaha Public Schools is proud of its staff. Over 7,000 employees are involved in the daily operation of our schools. Our teachers, who come from all 50 states, attended more than 340 colleges and universities. They have an average of 11.7 years of experience and 43 percent have advanced degrees. Internationally known financier Warren Buffett, annually listed among the wealthiest Americans, has established a coveted award to honor teachers in the Omaha Public Schools. And many of our teachers have won Nebraska Teacher of the Year awards, Presidential Excellence awards and other national, regional and local citations. We also work with gifted and talented students by providing a wide array of enrichment programs. Students have opportunities for advanced studies in virtually every subject area including all the core curriculum, music, art and physical education. Important examples of superior achievement are found in topics that range from geography to debate, from physics to photography.

PLTW is an organization focused on empowering students and transforming the teaching experience – a proud tradition from the start of the organization that continues today. Since 1997, we have grown from a high school engineering program to offering comprehensive PreK-12 pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science. PLTW`s world-class, activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum gives students a chance to apply what they know, identify problems, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning, rather than be passive recipients of information in a question-and-answer, right-or-wrong learning environment. In addition to our innovative curriculum, one of the most unique aspects of our programs is the engaging, rigorous professional development for teachers. We offer five programs of study: PLTW Launch (grades PreK-5), PLTW Gateway (middle school), PLTW Biomedical Science (high school), PLTW Computer Science (high school), and PLTW Engineering (high school). PLTW has 14,000 programs in 11,500 schools, serving millions students and training over 55,000 teachers.
