In a Christ-centered environment, CMA educates the whole child using the Montessori Method. CMA’s multi-aged classrooms invite learning in an enticing, stress-free setting. Our authentic Montessori materials and curriculum provide concrete learning experiences and the joy of discovery. They are also the basis for abstraction in future learning. Our students learn at their own pace in a cooperative atmosphere.  They are encouraged to make choices to help develop a sense of independence and self-worth. The classroom Guide assists each child with lessons and therefore, “guides” him in his educational journey. We believe that the impressions formed today have a lasting impact on a child’s attitude towards learning and life itself. CMA currently serves ages 3-12 in our Primary through Upper Elementary classrooms.

Happy Campers Academy offers Tulsa and surrounding communities quality child care while families are at work. We accept children ages 6 weeks to five years of age and provide parents an opportunity to view their children in the early learning center through a closed-circuit internet connection. At all three of our midtown Tulsa locations, Happy Campers utilizes a child-centered philosophy and partners with our families to provide a quality educational experience in a nurturing environment. Our highly trained staff works to get to know each individual child and his/her cognitive and developmental needs, while seeking input from families to make the home and school transition smooth and communication open for the success of the child. Through a balance of developmental play and planned educational activities, our students learn best through doing–all while having fun and expressing themselves creatively. We start the foundation for learning when our students are infants–bonding and connecting. When they become toddlers, the focus is self-help and self-recognition and then during the twos, we build upon independence and language skills. The three-year-olds start making cognitive connections and experience the beginnings of social skills. Finally, in PreK, students start connecting all the tools from every stage to form a strong foundation for early reading preparation to build confidence for kindergarten. Our teachers conduct conferences twice a year in order to build a strong home and school team. We want to keep parents informed about what their child(ren) is learning, developmental milestones that are being achieved, and suggest skills that can be practiced at home. We believe that our child-centered philosophy will foster a love for learning in these ever-important early childhood years.

Our Happy Campers at John Knox location offers after-school care for students at Patrick Henry, Carnegie, Council Oak, and Eliot. We offer a place for kids to do homework, play outside, and have a safe and structured time after school while parents are working for ages 5-12 years.

“We are new this year, and I’m kicking myself for not finding Legacy sooner. Between the remarkable education, the welcome environment, and the wonderful staff, I couldn’t think of a better place for my child.”

At Lincoln Christian School, our goal is to raise the next generation of Christian leaders. We prepare LEADERS by staying true to our Founding Principles, our Mission, and our Vision.

Life’s tough decisions are made so much easier when we are led by a guiding philosophy. Decisions are best made by establishing priorities during training – not waiting until pressures are encountered. Through partnership and remaining true to our founding principles, mission, and vision, we work diligently to enable students the opportunity to discover, develop, and deploy their God-given talents while preparing them for a lifetime of learning, serving, and honoring God. We are determined to keep our priorities in that order…period.

At Lincoln, we endeavor to provide an atmosphere where the Word of God is preeminent in all we do. Our blueprint to do this is to prepare leaders by teaching theory, practicality, and actuality in five main areas: Spiritual, Physical, Academic, Emotional, and Social Leadership. Students apply knowledge and skills to work individually and collaboratively as they discover their giftings and talents and how best to use them in their next steps.
