Academics are solid with a great mixture of modern teaching including Chromebooks, interactive, and minimester concentration on well-rounded events and life skills. Sports are easy to participate in and extracurricular activities are plentiful. Students wear full dress - blazers and ties for boys - during the majority of the year. As with any high school, teenage issues are present but my children have not a complaint about their teachers nor their fellow classmates being extraordinary in personality nor perspective. I recommend this school.

As a current student I have had nothing but a positive experience at this school. Coming from a…read morepublic school into Cascia, which is unlike most of the student body who come usually from Monte Cassino, the smaller class sizes embodies a much more familial experience in comparison to public schools. Not only is it possible to become closer to your classmates, but you become closer to your teachers and much more comfortable to ask for help. Of course, Cascia is known very well for the academics provided here. The academic life at Cascia is no small feat and to be taken very seriously. Despite the difficulty of the academics, we students are not alone and have teachers as well as each other to ask for help and advice. If you are considering going here or you are a parent considering for you're child to go here, be prepared for long nights of homework as this is what going to a College Preparatory school entails. In enduring the classes here, you develop study tools that will be necessary in college. Many students who are not given the same academic experience received at Cascia, are not as prepared for college when the time comes. As well as the academic reputation Cascia is known for, we have an athletic one, too. Dependent upon the sport, Cascia is a 4a/5a school with as vast array of sports for one to "get involved" in, as our coaches so often tell us. Though not a large school, Cascia more than compensates with talent and immensely supportive coaching from the coaching staff. Not only are our coaches supportive of us on the field/court/track/green/etc, but off the field too, seeing as most of our coaches double as teachers as well. We develop close bonds with our coaches that many at a large school do not have the opportunity to develop. And as to be expected from a Catholic school, the religious aspects of Cascia are interwoven throughout our entire high school experience. Four of five mornings out of the week, upper school students attend chapel just before school starts, for announcers, birthday acknowledgments, and prayer. We also pray in school at the beginning and end of everyday (some teachers also pray before class), we embody the Augustinian values of Truth, Unity, and Love, and every student, as a senior, is given the amazing opportunity to attend Kairos. However, it does not matter what religion you are or what beliefs you posses, they WILL BE ACCEPTED AND APPRECIATED at Cascia Hall. Many believe one must be of a Christian faith to belong at our campus, but that is just not true. There is a very wide variety of religions at Cascia and, as I said, each and every one are respected and even encouraged, as Cascia Hall wants us students to grow in whichever belief we have. Naturally, as with any high school experience, there will be ups and downs. However, at Cascia Hall, I can guarantee that someone will be there to cheer you on in the good times and help carry you in the bad.

I would have given it a better review otherwise, but I was also bullied terribly due to their different policies, and VERY unhappy as a student.

Their core values are equity, character, excellence, team, and joy.

It's a great learning environment for novices or even someone who wants to refresh their training. Once you finish it , you can also return to refresh on training. This facility has plenty of mock up scenarios for various trades so you can get hands on training with knowledgeable instructors! Pricing may be a little bit on the high side. However you can apply for grants and student loans. This place is great for someone like me who needs the mix of hands on, visuals, and book training for it to take hold. Sort of like a panoramic view of one thing allowing me to see the bigger picture. The course I'm taking is only 7 months for just HVAC. There are other courses depending on which variations you choose. Oh, and plenty of parking for students and staff around the back in a gated parking lot. Go try it out!

I was there for only 4 years until graduation. I was lucky enough to receive a full scholarship for tuition and living expenses ($60,000) to a highly rated Private liberal arts college in New York, so I believe I was somewhat prepared. However, I had an undiagnosed auditory processing and aphasia learning issue which in those days was just swept under the rug. I took advantage of my time at college then moved abroad so I am unsure whether I could say my education from Edison was great. It was public school sink or swim.

Tulsa Girls Art School is so amazing! It is one of my favorite nonprofits. They are an afterschool…read morearts program that girls start to attend in third grade and continue to do so until their senior year of high school. Essentially, they provide continued support and wonderful programming throughout the span of 10 years of their lives. They not only provide the space, but also transportation, supplies and instruction. What is even cooler is that the students have many opportunities to sell the artwork they create throughout the years so they're also learning about finances, art show curation and public speaking. When a piece of artwork sells, they put 30% of its proceeds into the student's individual micro-savings account. Senior girls receive 100% of their sales. These earnings allow the girls to save money for art supplies, education materials or college. Finally, a great way to support them is by attending their annual gala, usually held at the end of October or beginning of November. It is by far the most creative fundraiser and it is always very fun. You will also have the opportunity to purchase amazing artwork.
