CAMPUS LIFE

Metro’s elementary school library hosts a book fair each year. This fun event is open to elementary students and their parents, with a portion of the sales proceeds going toward purchasing new books and library supplies. Don’t miss one of our favorite events, Donuts with Grownups!

Every Wednesday morning, Metro’s Elementary students gather for a special time of student-led worship and community. This cherished tradition fosters spiritual growth, develops leadership and public speaking skills, and encourages poise and self-expression.

Metro is dedicated to helping others and making a positive impact in the community. Every year, classes select special projects to support their neighbors in need in Tulsa. These efforts spread kindness and compassion through simple acts, such as filling Christmas shoeboxes, visiting seniors, making blankets, and collecting warm clothes for winter.

Students at Metro enjoy various dress-up days throughout the year. Every Friday is Spirit Day, with school-approved spirit attire. Designated days allow for casual dress. Themed dress-up days include P3’s Farm Day and Kindergarten’s Dalmatian spots on the 101st Day. 1st Grade’s 50s-style attire on the 50th Day, 2nd Grade’s grandparent-inspired outfits on the 100th Day, 4th Grade’s State Fair theme, and 5th Grade’s Wax Museum character dress-up.

Students participate in themed dress days, reading challenges, and exploring different book genres. Guest authors and parent volunteers visit classrooms to share stories. Through these activities, students connect with their peers, reading buddies, and teachers, fostering a shared love of reading.

Each year, grandparents and grand-friends are honored at a Grandparents’ Day celebration. The event features a heartwarming chapel service, including pledges, prayers, songs, and a special message. Afterward, they eat donuts together and visit classrooms where teachers have prepared cross-generational activities to foster connection and fun.

Elementary music comes alive through dynamic performances tailored to each grade level from Pre-3 to 5th grade, featuring sounds, lights, costumes, and sets that (delight or entertain) families, grandparents, and guests.

Metro’s Elementary magazine, The Patriot Express, is a digital magazine written by students for students. It allows elementary students to submit photos, drawings, and writing based on theme prompts.

The large gym transforms into a beautiful art gallery in conjunction with the school’s annual drama performance. A colorful artwork display highlights students’ artistic skills across all age groups. Visitors admire talented creations, including chalk pastels, watercolors, ceramic pinch-pots, abstract acrylics, and more.

The Elementary school year wraps up with a fun-filled day of track and field games on the football field. Students join together for an exciting afternoon of friendly competitions, celebrating the end of the school year and the start of summer break.

The Elementary Walk-A-Thon is the largest Elementary fundraiser of the year, with 100% of the funds directly benefiting the Elementary School. Thanks to its past success, the event has significantly impacted funding vital initiatives, including the STEM Program, classroom technology, playground upgrades, new books, and Teacher Wish Lists.

Metro’s Middle School MathCounts program is based on a national middle school mathematics competition that builds problem-solving skills, supports academic stamina, and fosters achievement through four levels of fun, in-person “bee” style contests. This class is an academic elective for students interested in challenging and honing their math skills. Our “Mathletes” compete individually and as a team to achieve the opportunity to compete at the state and national levels. Students carry the skills and strategies developed in MathCounts into their high school high-stakes testing experience, where strong correlations are observed between success in MathCounts and success on the ACT, SAT, and PSAT.

Thursday mornings begin with Chapel, a special time for students to pause, reflect, and worship together. This weekly gathering features dynamic guest speakers, spirited music from the Metro Praise & Worship Team, student-led presentations, and impactful videos.

Students explore their interests and passions through various clubs, including the Art Club, where students express their creativity; the American Sign Language (ASL) Club, which promotes communication and understanding; the Chess Club, which is for strategic thinkers; the Culinary Club, where students cook up new recipes; the Environmental Club, which is focused on sustainability; the Film Club, which explores the world of cinema; and the International Club, which celebrates diverse cultures.

Metro is committed to serving the community and cultivating compassion in its students. Through various advisory groups and school-wide projects, students develop a heart for service and make a positive impact. Students are required to complete a minimum number of community service hours before graduation. Additional service hours are also required for membership in organizations such as the National Junior Honor Society, the National Honor Society, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and other similar groups.

Students turn their ideas into real businesses through our Entrepreneurship class. They design, launch, and run their own ventures, acquiring valuable skills such as teamwork and creativity. Local business leaders share their expertise, helping students succeed. Past projects include T-shirt companies and a new on-campus coffee shop.

Metro Christian Academy’s Homecoming Week is an exciting tradition that unites students, alumni, and the community. The celebration features theme days, a campus decorating contest, a pep rally, a Homecoming Football game, an Alumni Tailgate Dinner, and a memorable Homecoming Dance.

Metro is passionate about growing Christian student leaders. Our student council, led by officers and representatives from 7th to 12th grade, drives school spirit and promotes community service. They organize Homecoming, service projects, and other events. Students also partner with faculty and staff to address school needs, gaining valuable leadership experience in the process.

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and National Honor Society (NHS) are student organizations that recognize Middle School and High School students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Students in grades 7-12 can join these clubs by meeting membership requirements. Both clubs meet regularly for service projects and leadership opportunities.

Seniors enjoy a year filled with exclusive experiences and beloved traditions. Their journey begins with Senior Sunrise and concludes with Senior Sunset, bookending a year of memorable events, including the Senior Float Trip, Ski Trip, and Winter Ball. Along the way, they enjoy special privileges, including designated parking and lockers, celebratory lunches, and birthday celebrations. School spirit soars with events like Powder Puff, Man Cheer, and Mr. Metro, while meaningful ceremonies, such as Baccalaureate and Commencement, mark significant milestones.

Metro fosters spiritual growth and community through our Advisory/Tribe program and Retreats. Students in grades 6-12 meet weekly in small groups for prayer, fellowship, and encouragement, alternating between Bible study and service projects. Off-campus experiences include Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Retreat Days, as well as Middle School Tribes Day, where students and mentors enjoy a day of bonding, reflection, and activities such as laser tag, paintball, team-building exercises, and bowling.
