Boys Town Omaha Day School

Boys Town Omaha Day School (also known historically as the Wegner Day School) is an accredited contracted alternative day school located on the historic Boys Town campus in Douglas County. Partnering with public school districts throughout the greater Omaha metropolitan area, the school provides a structured, therapeutic learning environment for kindergarten through 12th grade students whose behavioral, emotional, or social challenges have impeded their success in traditional educational classrooms.

Instruction is organized around an intensive 3:1 student-to-staff ratio, enabling certified special education teachers and instructional staff to deliver individualized academic programming aligned with state educational standards. The school implements the evidence-based Boys Town Education Model, which explicitly teaches essential social skills, emotional self-regulation, and positive problem-solving. On-site licensed mental health practitioners provide crisis intervention and therapeutic counseling, while transition teams work closely with resident school districts and families to prepare students for successful reintegration into their neighborhood schools.
