Experience OCS for yourself
Reading about us is one thing. But it’s only when you walk our halls, meet our team, and watch our students learning together that it really clicks. While a tour isn’t a prerequisite for applying, we’d still love to show you what OCS is all about.

A member of our admissions staff will personally guide you through our campus, giving you a glimpse into daily life at Oklahoma Christian School. You’ll observe our students, teachers, and administrators in action, experiencing the vibrant learning environment that makes OCS special. Bringing your prospective student is optional, but they’re always welcome to join.
During your visit, you can expect to
- Tour academic facilities and observe classes in session
- See student-teacher interactions and our Christ-centered approach in practice
- Visit common areas where students gather and build community
- Learn about extracurricular activities, athletics, and spiritual life programs
- Receive information about admissions, tuition, and financial aid
By the end of this visit, you and your student will have a clearer picture of what it’s like to be a Saint and concrete next steps if you decide to apply.
“We toured several schools before choosing OCS. Our kids kept coming back to how the students at OCS were so joyful during our school tour. They wanted to be a part of it. Our experience has been great and we would recommend OCS to anyone.”
Concerned about switching schools?
Considering a school change brings up real concerns for both parents and students.
Will my child fall behind academically?
How long will it take to make friends?
What if they don’t adjust well?
These questions are normal and important. Leaving familiar teachers, friends, and routines takes courage. But you’re not alone.
We’ve walked with hundreds of families asking the same questions.
Here are a few ways we’re intentional about coming alongside your family during this worthwhile transition:
- New Student Events - Division-specific gatherings help students meet peers and become familiar with their new environment
- New Parent Engagement Meeting – Dedicated time for parents to ask questions, understand expectations, and connect with school leadership
- New Family Ambassadors – Experienced OCS families partner with newcomers to provide guidance, answer questions, and offer friendship
- Pre-School Communication – Spring and summer outreach keeps new families informed and excited about the upcoming year
- Regular Check-ins – Once school begins, we proactively follow up to ensure smooth academic and social transitions
- All-School Community Events – Worship Night, Big Bash, and events like the Saints 5K create natural opportunities for families to build relationships and feel part of the OCS community
“Our daughter has transitioned well, mostly because of so many caring, friendly, and familiar faces who welcomed her with open arms. Everyone has been so helpful with guidance and answering any questions we have had and helped us address concerns as well. She feels very comfortable and right at home. We love seeing so many smiling faces.”
Admissions Resources
Tuition & Financial Aid
While a quality Christian education is an investment, we believe cost shouldn’t stop mission-aligned families from joining the OCS family. Our financial aid program aims to make Christian education accessible to families who share our mission, vision, and values.
Application Process & Requirements
Our application process helps us understand your child and family through academic records, standardized test scores, pastoral reference letters, and parent and student interviews. We’re evaluating both academic readiness, spiritual alignment and whether we can create a strong school-family partnership. We recommend reaching out to the admissions team to ensure availability before submitting your application.
“[My daughter is] making friends quickly. The welcome events allowed my child to become familiar with the school beforehand. Friendly teachers and faces, knowing existing families, and activities like the Big Bash or Saints Rally helped her and us make connections outside of the classroom. Also, the opportunities for us to be involved at the school for activities like Moms in Prayer, Library Helper, or Spirit Store are helpful for increasing our family’s comfortability with a new school.”
Common Questions
How are admissions decisions made?
Our admissions process looks at multiple factors to ensure a good fit for both your family and our school community. We review standardized test scores, academic records, pastoral references, and conduct interviews with both parents and students. We also consider how well our conversations and interactions throughout the application process indicate a strong school-family partnership. The entire process helps us determine whether we can serve your child well and whether your family aligns with our mission and values.
Can we visit the campus before applying?
Absolutely! We invite you to visit before applying, however, it is not a prerequisite for applying.
Can our child shadow a current student?
Shadow days are reserved only for high school applicants whose application file is complete.
How does your college preparation compare to other schools?
Students take four years of five core subjects, with robust AP and concurrent enrollment options. However, college prep at OCS goes beyond coursework.
Our college counselor works with students routinely, organizing college visits, hosting representatives on campus, and providing ACT preparation. We help students build their resumes throughout high school and actively support scholarship applications.

Do you offer before and after-school care?
Yes, we provide extended care for working families. Before-school care begins at 7:30 am and after-school care runs until 5:30 pm, with activities and homework support supervised by our staff.
Does OCS offer financial aid?
Yes! We offer tuition assistance to qualifying families through the Opportunity Scholarship Fund. Tuition assistance is awarded strictly based on financial need through a completely confidential process. We don’t offer athletic or academic merit scholarships—our aid is designed specifically to make Christian education accessible to families who demonstrate financial need. The amount awarded depends on your family’s specific situation and available funding. Learn more about affording OCS here.
