A World-Class Education

Located in the Midwest, Metro Christian Academy is committed to expanding our reach and influence in the Tulsa, greater Oklahoma, national, and international communities. We encourage and embrace the experience of hosting international students in grades 8-12 on the Metro campus. The presence of the international students and their families at our school provides a priceless cultural, compassionate, and missional experience for our community.

For over 25 years, the Metro community has been learning and living alongside international students from a variety of countries. Metro Christian Academy is approved to issue I-20s for potential students to obtain their F-1 Visa. Through our International Program, and as Metro Patriots, students from around the world are immersed in a Christian community, providing an exceptional college-preparatory education framed in biblical truths while embracing a Christian worldview.

At Metro, international students are provided with countless opportunities to realize their God-given talents academically, athletically, artistically, and spiritually. The school offers a diverse and rigorous array of academic programs designed to expand each student’s knowledge, promote critical thinking, inspire creativity, and encourage collaboration with all learning abilities. We provide a variety of opportunities for students to begin mastering the English language. Our international students are exposed to American culture through field trips, school-sponsored clubs and events, and by developing healthy and lifelong relationships with coeds and their families, faculty, and staff.
