CHCS is a year-round, K-12 grade, ACSI accredited school that equips students who are at-risk for a brighter future. Teachers work alongside houseparents, social workers, and other team members to ensure we are providing the holistic opportunity each child needs for a well-rounded future.

Kids at Cookson Hills attend our on-site Christian School. Students arrive throughout the year, so year-round sessions give them the opportunity to easily jump into a class. Educational gaps such as lacking a basic foundation, struggling with reading, failing subjects, or excessive absences are common prior to enrollment. So, we adjust for these challenges on an individual basis. We offer opportunities for credit recovery, earning college credit, and partnering with local tech sites for vocational training.

Our school staff focuses on educating students academically, spiritually, and socially in a trauma-informed environment and integrates a Biblical worldview into all content areas. Small class sizes allow teachers to make sure each student is getting the personalized instruction he or she needs to succeed.

Difficult behavior in the classroom isn’t unique to Cookson Hills, but the way we treat students with behavior issues is. Faculty offer care and training to help students build lifelong strategies for addressing the root of their difficulties. This helps produce students who can confidently engage in learning.

Cookson Hills Christian School is a private, ACSI-accredited K-12 school serving children placed in our care. The annual tuition is $7,500, which covers all educational services, books, materials, and activities, —with no additional education fees charged to families.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, foundations, and programs like the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit (OPCTC), tuition costs are fully covered through scholarships and tax credits for eligible families.

Families who are Oklahoma taxpayers may qualify for a refundable income tax credit of up to $7,500 per student per year through the OPCTC, which can help offset the cost of tuition at Cookson Hills Christian School.

Our goal is simple: to ensure that finances never stand in the way of a child accessing the safe, supportive, and Christ-centered education they need to heal, grow, and succeed.

CHCS offers competitive athletic programs including girls volleyball and basketball and boys basketball and cross country. Additionally, students have the opportunity to take part in equine programs, band, and vocal ensemble.

Cookson Hills Christian School, Inc. admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
