Calling All Christian Leaders

Highly talented and effective Christian educators like you are special people. You have the training and expertise to bring a broad range of stakeholders together around a compelling plan that builds on the history and current assets of the school.

While schools are complex organizations, you have the gift of administration and leadership to create the team and the culture to achieve remarkable success.

We believe Christian education provides critical value for families today. Timeless truths of Scripture and the wisdom of the ages can be combined with modern school design and instructional strategies to provide the optimal experience for students and their families. Families in southwest Oklahoma should have access to a high quality Christian school that enables each person to discover and achieve their God-given purpose.

We believe Christian educators deserve to work in a school environment that enables the fulfillment of their calling and complete development of their talents. This requires an organizationally healthy school that consistently listens, learns, and improves.
