CAMPUS LIFE

Twice a year, Metro’s librarians and volunteers offer the Scholastic Book Fair. Students of all ages and their parents attend the fair. A percentage of these proceeds helps purchase more books to add to our library collection or needed library equipment.

We are very excited about the incredible selection of programs available to all our Metro and community students and families again this summer!

Camp Patriot @ Camp Loughridge 2022

Camp Patriot works with many community partners every summer to help us provide the best possible programming to our students and families. Once again this summer we are partnering together with Camp Loughridge to offer a 1-week session of Camp Patriot @ Camp Loughridge.

Back by popular demand, learn how simple items cause giant explosions! From reactions of Mentos and Diet Coke all the way to rockets made from paper that fly hundreds of feet in the air! Campers get a hands-on experience while learning the basic physics of explosions. Come ready to be challenged, learn, and succeed! Several new activities have been added for campers who did this camp session in past years.

Please Note: This camp will take place at CAMP LOUGHRIDGE, so please drop off and pick up each day at Camp Loughridge. Lunch is provided each day. The $295 per camper cost is for full-day camp programming. Mornings will be spent with MCA staff doing special STEM programming and afternoons will be spent with Camp Loughridge staff enjoying many outdoor activities, such as swimming, ropes courses, canoeing, ziplining, and more!

Kanakuk Kampout Week @ Metro 2022

For several years now, Metro has developed a strong relationship with Kanakuk Kampout. As a matter of fact, Metro was the very first school in the Tulsa area to host a week of Kanakuk Kampout! KampOut! is a 1-week high energy, non-stop excitement, traveling Christian day camp experience from Kanakuk for 5 to 12 year olds! Every KampOut! Kamper will see and hear that God is a loving Father and wonderful Creator who loves them and desires for us to love others. Kanakuk counselors have been hand-picked for their Christ-like patience and sensitivity, and they are committed to creatively share the importance of a life lived for Jesus Christ! Campers will have a blast flying down the zipline, scaling the climbing wall, bouncing in the incredible inflatables, and laughing at crazy skits! This is a week that your student does NOT want to miss!

Metro Athletic Summer Camps

Metro Christian Academy’s Athletics Department has a fantastic selection of Patriot Sports Camps & options for students of all ages scheduled for this summer as well. This is a completely separate department and separate registration system and process from Camp Patriot. Please see the schedule of all the Summer 2022 Athletic Camps coming March 2022. To register for any of these great Athletic Summer Camps available this summer please go to: www.mcapatriots.com and click on the Links tab.

Every Wednesday morning, Metro’s Elementary students gather for a worship experience. Student-led chapels provide our students a platform to glorify the Lord, learn poise, and develop leadership and public-speaking skills as they lead their peers in worship.

Community Service Projects and Metro’s tradition of developing a strong school community go hand-in-hand. Many of our classes and groups choose a Community Service Project each year. Activities include filling Christmas shoeboxes, visiting the elderly in nursing homes, making fleece blankets, and collecting mittens, gloves, hats, and coats in the winter months. Our faculty, students, and families are dedicated to loving one another and our Tulsa community.

During this week, students in all grades celebrate literature with — themed-dress days, reading challenges, learning more about various genres, and visits from guest authors and parent-readers. All of our Elementary students connect with one another, reading buddies, and their teachers as they celebrate a love of reading.

Annually, our grandparents and grand-friends are treated to a musical and/or dramatic presentation from all the elementary classes during Elementary Chapel. Afterward, they visit their grandchild’s classroom for a cross-generational activity designed by the teacher to honor them and have fun in the classroom.

Throughout the year, Metro’s Elementary Music Instructor works with each grade level from our littlest friends in P3 to our soon-to-be Middle Schoolers in 5th grade to provide exceptional programs complete with sounds, lights, costumes, and sets for our families, grandparents, and guests.

In conjunction with the school’s annual drama performance, visual art pieces created throughout the year by the Elementary students are placed on display in the large gym for fellow classmates, parents, and visitors to view. Every Elementary art student has a piece of their artwork on display — from chalk pastels to watercolors, ceramic pinch-pots to abstract acrylics, and everything in-between. The Art Show comes alive with submissions from all age groups!

During the last week of school, all the Elementary students gather on our football field to play a variety of track and field games and competitions. It’s a great way to celebrate the end of the school year and the beginning of summer.

The Elementary Walk-A-Thon is the largest Elementary fundraiser of the year, with 100% of the proceeds going directly back to the Elementary School! With the past success of this event, we have been able to contribute significant funds towards the STEM Program, technology for classrooms, classroom additions, playground updates, Leveled Readers, and Teacher Wish Lists.

We are very excited about the incredible selection of programs available to all our Metro and community students and families again this summer in 2022!

On Thursday mornings, students take a prayerful break from their regular class schedule to worship God and renew their hearts and minds. Each week the Chapel programming features a different guest speaker, worship music led by our Metro Praise & Worship Team, student presentations, and videos.

Our clubs are driven both by student and teacher interests and passions, so the exact list of clubs is subject to change yearly. Some of our clubs over the years have included National Honor Societies, Robotics, Bowling Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Ultimate Frisbee.

Metro Christian Academy believes in community outreach and the impact it has not only on the community-at-large, but also in the hearts of our students. Thus, the school provides multiple opportunities for students to perform community service projects, including advisory group projects and school-wide projects. Metro requires students to complete a certain number of community service hours before graduation in addition to the service hours required for membership in National Junior Honor Society, National Honor Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and other organizations.

Student Life partners with Leadership, Alumni, and Athletics during Homecoming Week to sponsor a theme day for each school day, campus decorating contest, pep rally, and Homecoming Dance in addition to the annual Homecoming Football game and Alumni Tailgate Dinner.

We are blessed with a group of moms who meet once a week and a group of dads who meet once a month to pray for, over, and with our school community.

In a partnership with Oklahoma Blood Institute and the Red Cross, Metro Christian Academy hosts a fall blood drive. Students 16 and older and all faculty, staff, and families may donate blood.

Campus Life at Metro Christian Academy strives to model servant leadership. Our parents are provided with opportunities both to serve and to be served. Events for parents include appreciation breakfasts for teachers, encouragement groups and Bible studies for moms or dads, and involvement in student activities.  

Metro is devoted to developing Christian student leaders. Currently, Metro has a robust student council, including StuCo officers and representatives from grades 7-12, alongside class officers for each individual grade. Student Council sponsors our Homecoming dance, fall service project, and other activities in the spring. We also feature a collaborative and interactive program allowing students to partner with faculty and staff, serving specific needs of the school while learning and honing their leadership skills.

Small groups in grades 6-12 meet weekly to pray, fellowship, and encourage each other. Some weeks focus on Bible study and prayer, while other weeks prioritize service projects and team-building activities both on and off campus.
