Tuition

MCA understands that tuition is an investment for families in the future of their children. We do not take this investment lightly. When it comes to tuition, the goal of MCA is to provide quality education at a price that is affordable for families. MCA is working with the state to help families receive the Parental Choice Tax Credit that was passed in 2023. The Parental Choice Tax Credit IS NOT income based. All families with students 4 years-old and older qualify for the tax credit. It is tiered based on income, but the amount per student is significant no matter your family's income. For the 2025-2026 school year, families in a household below $120,000 per year were awarded $7500 per student. The tax credit is dispersed in August. Families may choose to pay the remainder of their child’s tuition up front or monthly. Please use this link to learn more about the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit.

Accredited by the Association of Classical Christian Schools

Magnolia Classical Academy (MCA) holds a mentorship accreditation from the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS) and is therefore recognized by the state of Oklahoma as an accredited institution. We follow the recommendations and guidelines outlined by the ACCS.

The ACCS website states: Classical Christian Education (CCE) is education as it was practiced prior to the progressive movement early in the 20th century when the focus switched to job training. Instead, CCE sharpens students’ reasoning, language, and rhetorical skills with a Christian vision for all truth and knowledge. Classical education was created by the Greeks to train citizens to self-govern and live in freedom. Later, it was Christianized to become “Classical Christian.” In the medieval era, “scholastics” refined the form into what inspires classical Christian education today. Rather than emphasizing “subjects,” it emphasizes seven “liberal arts,” which liberate the mind to be less subject to controlling influences. The goal is to cultivate wisdom in light of Christ’s creation and kingdom.
