School Reviews
5 7/24/2020
We have been very happy at Holy Family Cathedral School! We were drawn to the school by the new classical curriculum, and the teachers' enthusiasm for the school's transformation. It is the only Catholic Classical school in Tulsa, and so the curriculum and teaching methodology in a Catholic setting stands out. I don't know the reasoning for the other negative reviews/comments of HFCS, but they are outdated. Schools change over time, and with the right leadership, change for the better. Come check out Holy Family!
