HIGH SCHOOL
Preparing for College and Beyond
For more than 35 years, educating 9th- through 12th-grade students within a Christ-centered, college preparatory environment has been and continues to be the focus of Metro Christian Academy’s High School. Walking alongside our students both academically and in the community, as students hone their God-given gifts and talents while defining their identity in Christ, are just a few things that set our private school apart.
Integrating a biblical worldview, Metro Christian Academy offers a rigorous academic program that enriches and fortifies the mastery of core subject knowledge while encouraging the development of Christian virtues and life skills. Students are encouraged to collaborate, create, and communicate with their peers and faculty alike, developing critical thinking and healthy social interaction skills that are utilized in higher education and future career paths.
Partnering with families, our faculty and staff prioritize the student-teacher relationship, fostering an authentic and nurturing culture, and working conscientiously to prepare each student for success at the next level of their education and beyond. An interdisciplinary and experiential learning environment guides students to think critically and solve problems creatively, learn foundational decision-making skills, and foster healthy relationships. Metro students are successful and confident young men and women. By concentrating on each child’s potential and gifts, Metro develops and graduates fruitful and joyful students who have been challenged and are equipped, affirmed, and confident in pursuing post-graduate endeavors.

High School Profile
Course Catalog
Metro Christian Academy’s academic and college placement counselors work individually with each student and in partnership with their parents to determine a child’s specific academic, athletic, and artistic path of study. Our school serves a diverse range of students — each with their own individual academic, collegiate, and career goals and needs. To meet the individualized needs of each of our students, Metro offers a variety of course selections — from on-level to dual credit courses — tailored to create the best possible scholastic experience.
Annually, Metro Christian Academy releases its course catalog for the academic year. The catalog is created to help students and their families, in partnership with academic and college placement counselors, select annual courses and prepare for future years of academic study. There are a variety of factors determining the best educational path for your student, including a student’s strengths and weaknesses, graduation requirements, goals for college and beyond, and time spent on extra-curricular activities. Students and their families are encouraged to review the Course Selection Forms by Grade.
Please contact the Academic Counselors, Karen Oyler or Hillary Short, with any questions regarding academic requirements, course selection, or help with college placement and planning.
Academic and Collegiate Advisement for Metro and Beyond
Providing excellence in Christian, college preparatory education, Metro ensures our students are challenged in the classroom, no matter the level of courses chosen. At Metro Christian Academy, our academic advisement team partners with the student and their family, determining the best academic path and providing a quality, comprehensive and individualized academic plan for each of our students. Beginning early freshman year, each student meets with an academic advisor to design a four-year plan of study. At any time throughout the school year, students may meet with their advisor to review, modify, and plan for future courses. Additionally, students who are in need of assistance with personal issues or who are in crisis are offered personalized spiritual and guidance counseling.
Because Metro prepares our students for scholastic study here on campus and for collegiate level success later, college advisement begins early, helping students identify their academic strengths and areas of interests beyond the classroom. No small part of college readiness is a student’s involvement in extra-curricular activities — from athletics to fine arts and service projects to leadership, the Metro difference sets our students apart and affords them a competitive edge entering college. In fact, Metro students are known throughout Tulsa and its surrounding suburbs for their community outreach, veracity, and eagerness for learning and accomplishment.
To ensure that universities recognize our students’ academic and extra-curricular achievements, our College and Career Advisor works individually with students, providing countless resources, including access to college representatives from top colleges and universities across the country, informational college-preparatory sessions, dedicated meeting time to both students and their parents, and guidance on completing the Common Application.
Inspiring the Next Generation of STEM Leaders
Technology is a vital and continually evolving component of modern daily life. Interest in robotics, EdTech, STEM, STEAM, and technology has soared in the past decade. As such, Metro Christian Academy strives to provide the most innovative and comprehensive course offerings to our students.
There is a need for problem-solvers, leaders, dreamers, thinkers, and innovators. Through the recognition of advancements in both science and technology and inspired by classroom experiences, Metro’s EdTech and Robotics curriculum immerses, empowers, and prepares our students for life after High School and for innovative careers in technology fields.
Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent enrollment provides academic opportunities for Metro Christian Academy students to earn college credit while in high school. This means that concurrent classes a student takes while in high school begin to build the student’s college transcript which will follow the student to whatever university they attend after high school. Whether a student chooses to enroll in a college course that they work on online or outside of school hours, both the student and the course must meet the eligibility criteria. Students who are interested in pursuing enrollment in a concurrent course should contact the High School Counselor. Approval must be received prior to enrollment in any concurrent coursework.
Metro Christian Academy offers a Concurrent Period during the day to provide juniors and seniors the opportunity to have a set hour of their day to work on their concurrent enrollment if their academic schedule allows it.
Metro Christian Academy students have taken concurrent coursework through Oklahoma State University, University of Oklahoma, Oral Roberts University, The University of Tulsa, John Brown University and Tulsa Community College. Other colleges and universities may offer courses that could be verifiable.

- Must be a senior who has accumulated at least 21 credits by the end of junior year.
