Nerd Academy is a 501(c)(3) private school in Odessa, TX. We believe that building strong readers, writers, and thinkers is the foundation for success. But that's just the beginning. We also teach students how the world around them works — from the oil and gas industry that powers our local economy to the systems that make our cities run.

We connect core literacy skills with real-world learning, where students explore everything from PetroSTEAM to AI, gaining hands-on experience that will shape the future leaders of the Permian Basin. Our students learn to think critically, communicate clearly, and engage passionately — preparing them to thrive in a world that's constantly changing.
