Who can enroll in Tulsa Classical Academy?

Tulsa Classical Academy is open to any student who wishes to enroll provided we have space available.

That being said, we have designed our enrollment plan to accommodate students from throughout the region.

Tulsa Classical Academy will initially offer kindergarten through eight grade but will expand by a grade every year until it graduates its first class in 2028.

Do I need to submit an application if I already submitted an intent to enroll form?

Yes, you must submit an application via SchoolMint if you want your child to attend Tulsa Classical Academy. Intent to enroll forms were simply a way for us to assess early interest in the school and begin the process of engaging with families. They do not count as applications.

Is admissions first come first served?

Admission is not first come first served during the open enrollment period. All new student applications submitted between November 15, 2024, and January 15, 2025, will be placed into the lottery. The lottery has very specific and in some cases, state-mandated requirements. After the lottery, applications will be processed from the waitlist with the same enrollment priorities as the lottery. If the waitlist is exhausted, then and only then are applications processed in the order they are received.

How old does my child need to be to apply for Kindergarten?

Students must be five years old by  September 2, 2025, to be eligible to enroll in Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year.

General Questions

Will Tulsa Classical Academy charge tuition?

As an authorized Oklahoma public charter school, Tulsa Classical Academy is 100% tuition-free. Like any public school in the state, Tulsa Classical Academy will receive state aid in the form of per-pupil funding. Tulsa Classical Academy will also receive some federal funds. Tulsa Classical Academy will not receive local funds, however, and therefore operates with approximately 35% less funding than the equivalent district schools while providing the same services (general education, athletics, extra curricular activities, special education, ELL, etc.). To fill this funding gap, Tulsa Classical Academy relies on the generosity of supporters, donors, and foundations. If you are so inclined, please consider supporting us.

Tulsa Classical Academy is located at 9815 S. Sheridan Rd., Tulsa, OK 74133.
