Life-Changing Education for Children and Families

Education can change lives. Boys Town has ​recognized this truth for more than a century with our continuing commitment to quality education for all children. At Boys Town, we teach beyond the material in textbooks. We teach life skills, social skills, accountability, appropriate behavior and study skills. Our goal is to​ provide kids ​with the best ​​education possible so they can move forward and lead productive lives.

Nationwide Impact

The teaching and training that takes place in the Village of Boys Town is used to develop and pioneer new systems and tools that can be carried forward and used in schools across the country through our education training services. The map below shows the number of schools and where they are located that benefit from our National Training Program today.
