To our students and families, this one’s for you.
This year wasn’t just a school year.
It was the year.
The year we built something from the ground up.
The year we tested the idea that school could feel different, and found families brave enough to believe in it.
And what a year it’s been.
Every. Single. Nerd. On the A Honor Roll.
Not because we made it easy.
Because you made it worth it.
Some of you came in nervous.
Some came in labeled.
Some had been overlooked or underestimated.
But all of you showed up.
You learned to read.
You decoded.
You got your confidence back.
You didn’t just pass. You soared.
To Our Students:
You handled business.
You gave it your all, in phonics, in math, in robotics, in life.
You learned how to think deeper, how to lead, how to speak up.
You earned those grades. You earned our respect.
We’re proud of the readers.
We’re proud of the builders.
We’re proud of the little ones who stepped into their power.
And next year?
We’re just getting started.
To Our Parents:
You believed in us before we had a track record.
You trusted us with your children.
You showed up, asked questions, shared ideas, and helped us grow.
We know it’s not easy to step away from the system, to take a chance on something different.
It takes courage. It takes communication. It takes commitment.
Because of you, this beta year became the foundation for something bigger.
What’s Next?
More PetroSTEAM. More AI. More coding.
More hands-on projects. More real-world readiness.
Yes, we’ll teach literacy, math, and science. But we’ll also teach life skills like:
- How to use a tape measure.
- How to check oil in a vehicle.
- How to iron a shirt.
- How to hold a conversation.
- How to lead, collaborate, and network.
Because the kid sitting next to you?
Might be the next mayor. The next engineer. The next entrepreneur.
And we want our students to be ready, academically and socially.
Starting in third grade, we’ll introduce real networking.
Because relationships matter, and Nerds know how to build them.
No Homework. No Fundraising. No Guesswork.
Our mission for 2025–2026 is simple:
Show up. Handle business during school. Be a kid after school.
We’ll keep the communication open- daily or weekly check-ins, face-to-face conversations, honest updates.
You’ll never have to wonder how your child is doing.
And you’ll never be pressured to sell raffle tickets or sponsor a gala. We’re not about that.
We’re about your kid learning, growing, and thriving.
For the Families Watching from the Sidelines…
If you’re a parent looking for something different…
If your child is bright, curious, creative, but doesn’t quite fit the mold…
If you want school to feel like it matters again…
Come see what we’re building.
Nerd Academy is more than a school.
It’s a movement. A mission. A mixtape.
