We are nebraska Certified Agriculture Educators

Hybrid Education That is Inclusive and unforgettable

The Nebraska Agriculture Academy was established in 2022 by Breann Zimmer, Ann Dvorak and Katie Shadbolt who are all Nebraska Certified Agriculture Educators. The three teamed up to create an unforgettable and inclusive online agriculture education academy for homeschool students.

These three amazing individuals have rooted this Academy in the word "service" inspired by the last line of the FFA motto, “Living to Serve.” "Living to Serve" signifies the vital role service plays in FFA and Agriculture Education. At Nebraska Agriculture Academy, these Nebraska Certified Agriculture Educators are not just teachers, but they are advisors and coaches who are always available to serve their students.

They are always available as a helping hand, a resource to a students questions and an advisor to their students dreams! When a student becomes a part of the Nebraska Agriculture Academy, they are a part of something bigger and these teachers take pride in serving their students.

BRENDA from Firth, Nebraska

"I was so excited to have found NE Ag Academy for my daughter. Since we started homeschooling, she didn’t have the option to do FFA with an ag class outside of public school. It’s really been great for her to be a part of this program; learning with like minded individuals and honing in on her future ag related goals. The leaders of this program truly care about her progress and future goals."
