Oklahoma Academy exists to provide today's teenagers with a quality, Christian education.
We are committed to teaching our students the character traits called for by the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy while equipping them to meet the challenges of the world. We are a unique boarding high school, operated by Seventh-Day Adventists.
In all matters, our primary objective is to fully prepare our students to participate in finishing the work that God has called our church to do and to challenge them with an education that will prepare them for the "race of a lifetime."
At Oklahoma Academy, Christian youth are educated in the highest and most complete sense.
Our academics are intended to guide the student to excel mentally, physically and spiritually. Therefore, our academics are not limited to classroom work.
We believe that for the student to be fully prepared for life after high school, they should be educated in all areas of life.
We try to achieve this by combining class work with vocational study and outreach.
