Our children have attended St. Pius X / St. Leo School since Pre-K and have loved it since day one. The academic program is top notch; our oldest was well prepared to attend Mt. Michael High School. There are families from all over the Omaha area who attend SPSL - a nod to the welcoming school community at SPSL. We are grateful that our children have classmates and friends from a variety of backgrounds, countries, religions, and circumstances. We highly recommend SPSL School.

As non-Catholics, we were unsure if SPSL would be a good fit but finding a challenging academic program with a focus on diversity and service to others was i...

We couldn't be happier with SPSL for our children (who are quite different in terms of abilities and interests)!
