We are so thrilled with the beautiful and functional renovation to the Patriot Resource Center. It allows us to meet the needs of our students and encourages us for the future.

– Nancy Stubblefield, Patriot Resource Center Director, 1984-2023

The Patriot Resource Center (PRC) is a unique and historically significant part of our heritage as a Christian school community. Begun as a dream of Dr. Wanda Hartman in 1984, for over 35 years, the PRC has provided individual education plans to accommodate the specific learning needs of students in Kindergarten through 12th grades. We are committed to providing individualized interventions and academic plans for students with learning differences to fulfill our mission to serve the entire family. We believe identified students need instructional strategies, curriculum, and differentiated expectations to meet their unique abilities and potential. Small group placement and individualized learning goals are offered to accommodate these students’ needs to extend each child’s individual education plan.

Originally designed in the 1980s as a Tulsa Public High School, Metro Christian Academy finds it increasingly difficult to maintain an innovative and contemporary environment to inspire, educate, and support our students and their families. These spaces need modernization, expansion, and re-imagining to fulfill the promise made to ourselves, our families, and future Patriots of the pursuit of excellence through Christ in every endeavor.

Metro’s Cafeteria is one of the busiest spaces on campus hosting daily lunches, the before-school programs, PACK & PASS (Metro’s After-School Programs), PTF Meetings, Board Meetings, and more. The Cafe 2.0 Project continues the Cafeteria Renovations started by the 2016 All In Annual Appeal Campaign. This phase includes improving the flow and efficiency of students through the serving lines, installing ceiling materials, flooring, and energy-efficient lighting fixtures alongside a new coffee cafe!

Supporting students’ and their parents’ financial needs is a top priority for Metro Christian Academy. For our students and their families, the Foundation Endowments support affordability by enhancing academic programming and offsetting the annual operating cost – without raising tuition or sacrificing the quality of the Metro Christian Academy experience. The school wants to ensure that any student who desires a life-changing Metro Christian education can experience it regardless of their financial situation. We believe that coming alongside our families is an essential investment in the lives of our students and the gospel ministry they live out after graduation.

For Metro students and their parents, the Foundation Endowments support affordability by enhancing academic programming and offsetting the annual operating cost – without raising tuition or sacrificing the quality of the Metro Christian Academy experience. Since 2005, the Foundation’s Endowment Fund has provided over $1.4M in support to Metro. The Endowment Fund makes an annual contribution to the school for Tuition Assistance, Staff Professional Development, General Operating Expenses, and Building and Ground Maintenance projects.

Attempting to describe the impact tuition assistance has had on our family is nearly impossible. If one can place a value on getting to do life, school, and ministry together on a daily basis, in addition to the added blessing of a superior, Christian education and the opportunity for extracurricular activities, this is what attending Metro has meant for us. We have poured our lives into Metro, and Metro has poured life into us. There is no assignable value for such things, and we are thankful beyond words for tuition assistance making it all possible.

Athletics brings excitement and energy to the Metro community while providing many discipleship opportunities for students, families, coaches, and fans. Thus, Metro Athletics strives to be one of Oklahoma’s top Athletic Departments through a whole-student champion experience in three areas: Academics, Athletics, and personal growth in Christ. Currently, Metro offers 14 Varsity Sports, including Athletic Training, Baseball, Basketball, Cheerleading, Cross Country, Football, Golf, POM, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis, Track & Field, Volleyball, and Wrestling. A crucial next step in accomplishing our athletic goals is providing first-class facilities for our student-athletes and fans.

Continuing the improvements made in the initial phase of the Grounded in Excellence, Growing to Serve Campaign, the ongoing stadium improvements and expansion of facilities include a new Concession and Ticket Facility, renovation of Home Bleachers with the addition of priority chair-back seating, renovation of Visitor Bleachers and a commitment to meet all ADA Requirements throughout Patriot Stadium. The Locker Room improvements and renovations include a State-of-the-Art Athletic Training space, Girls’ Basketball Locker Room, Boys’ Football and Basketball Locker Rooms, and Athletic Offices.
