We are relatively new to Metro, after having moved to OK from out of state. The community at Metro is warm and friendly. My kids felt welcomed and so did I. Academics are very good, and the christian atmosphere is truly felt when you step on campus. I know there are no perfect schools, but, we feel very blessed with the friendships we have made and the staff and students we are doing life with. Jump in and get connected!

As a Metro graduate, college graduate & working professional, I cannot endorse the education I received at Metro. I found Metro to be psychologically damaging for anyone who is not a fundamentalist Christian. The school has almost no racial or ideological diversity. I think it’s good if your priority is to insulate your child from mainstream society and want them to attend either Oral Roberts or OSU. A few examples (out of many) things that happened there I found very creepy:
- during “spiritual emphasis week,” they invited a worship leader who claims Jesus saved him from being gay to speak at chapel.
- also during a Wednesday chapel, they invited a “healer” who was telling kids to bring a personal item from a loved one who is sick to pray over (the teachers just sat there like robots not saying anything like it was totally normal. Many parents called the school to complain since its supposed to be “interdenominational” & he was not invited back the folllwing day.
- in AP English Senior year, the teacher had us put our heads down and raise our hands if we identified as a Democrat (had nothing to do with the lesson or AP English)
- Also in AP English, teacher made 17 / 18 year old HS kids parents sign permission forms to read “secular” books on dystopias that are actually famous literary works, e.g., 1984.
I really wish I’d pushed my parents more to take me out of Metro and send me to one of the more academic private schools such as Bishop Kelley or Cascia where the focus seems to be on educating students to actually think for themselves & incorporate reason into their faith. I would strongly advise against Metro if you want your child to matriculate to a competitive college and be exposed to diversity of thought. Mainstream Christians, Catholics, atheists and those of other faith backgrounds would not feel comfortable at Metro. I hope this helps other avoid the same mistake my family made.

Absolute best value for private education in Tulsa. Nowhere else can your child receive the full spectrum of growth educationally, spiritually, emotionally, physically and socially. Call them to schedule a tour or find out when the next open house is happening. You will be thankful you decided on Metro to be your child's foundation for life.

If you're looking for a place where your student can be academically challenged while enjoying a positive and uplifting environment, you would enjoy Metro Christian.
