FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Odessa, TX – Monday, November 20, 2023 – Abel and Raquel Nunez are proud to announce the planned launch of Nerd Academy, a new private school set to open its doors in August 2024. Aimed at revolutionizing the learning experience for students in grades 1-4, Nerd Academy is committed to offering a unique STEM-focused curriculum with an emphasis on the oil and gas industry, a vital part of the local economy in Odessa and surrounding areas.
Educational Innovation Meets Local Industry
Understanding the significance of the oil and gas industry in Odessa, Nerd Academy’s curriculum is designed to align with STEM methodology, offering insights into various stages of oil production, from drilling and fracking to the role of pumpjacks and pipelines. The goal is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the industry’s impact on their daily lives and future career opportunities.
A Fresh Approach to Learning
Founded by Abel and Raquel Nunez, Nerd Academy is a response to the shortcomings observed in the private school sector. Disheartened by the prevalence of bullying and the lack of accountability in existing institutions, the founders envision a school where anti-bullying laws are stringently followed, creating a safe and nurturing environment for all students.
Parent-Friendly Fundraising
Another core principle of Nerd Academy is its innovative approach to fundraising. The school aims to alleviate the financial and time burden often placed on parents by traditional fundraising methods. Nerd Academy’s fundraising will be managed transparently by the school directors and a volunteer fundraising board, ensuring clarity and purpose in every initiative.
Looking Ahead
With plans to start with at least 30 students and hire two teachers, Nerd Academy is currently finalizing its location and aims to be operational by the summer of 2024. The Nunez’s are excited about this venture and are dedicated to providing a top-notch educational experience that is both meaningful and accessible.

This is very interesting, I am interested in this. My grandson is in pre-k now, he has a speech delay… would this be a possibility for him to attend your private school?
