About Us

A Community Full of Learning and Faith

For over 60 years, St. Bernadette Catholic School has been a place for students and their families to find community. Our school gives students the opportunity to learn, play and grow in a faith-filled environment. Students come to us from nearby Offutt Air Force Base and from many other zip codes across Omaha, Bellevue and Papillion.

School Mission Statement

I am a Disciple of Christ from St. Bernadette.
I will follow God’s plan to be the best version of myself through my learning,
my interactions with others and my relationship with Jesus.

What Makes Saint Bernadette Special?

  • Small School, Big Impact

    With around 250 students each year, our teachers know every child – not just their name, but how they learn, what motivates them and where they may need support. Smaller class sizes mean your child won’t get lost in the crowd and yet still have plenty of opportunities to form friendships and participate in clubs and sports. 

  • Strong Academics

    In all grades, students have access to a wide range of technology to support their learning, including iPads, Chromebooks, Macbooks, 3D printers and more. In middle school, students take elective courses and start to get a feel for what high school is like so the transition is smooth. SBS is the only Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Omaha that shares a campus with a high school. This means SBS prepares students for success in high school, college and their future careers by equipping them with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills (and confidence!) that they need to succeed. 

  • Faith Development

    Our parish and school operate as one faith community. Students participate in weekly Mass, monthly Adoration, student-led prayer, sacramental preparation and service projects that put faith into action. 

  • Feels Like Family

    We have some families who have been part of our school community for years. But for many families, St. Bernadette is the first experience with a Catholic school. Whether you’re moving to Bellevue after being stationed at Offutt AFB, or you’re new to the area for another reason, our community will wrap you in open arms. Parents here volunteer together, cheer together on the sidelines and build friendships that last for years. Your children will belong here – and your whole family will feel it fast.

Proud to be Part of the Omaha Catholic School Consortium

St. Bernadette is part of the Omaha Catholic School Consortium. Formed in 2012, the Consortium is a network of six Catholic schools serving preschool through eighth grade across the Omaha Metro Area. What does that mean for your family? It means our school is backed by shared resources, professional development and operational support that a single parish school like ours couldn’t access on its own. Still, SBS remains known for that small-school, family feel. The Consortium provides tuition discounts to all registered families at St. Bernadette Parish or any of the 16 Consortium-supporting parishes.

Six Schools. Sixteen Parishes. One Amazing Community.
