Claremore, OKGrades PreK-5

Legacy Christian School teaches children from age 2 through third grade in Claremore in close partnership with Claremore First, whose pastors teach our weekly chapel. We are a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Our preschool has two classrooms for 2-year-olds, two for 3-year-olds and three for 4-year-olds, and each preschool class has daily Bible study with Scripture memory and prayer time. Kindergarten through third grade is taught by six classroom teachers, and a music and PE teacher works with students across the school. On Wednesday mornings our K-3 students lead their own chapel service, with a different class each week guiding the pledges, worship songs and verse of the week, while PreK4 students attend a weekly chapel of their own. Offerings collected in chapel support our sister school in Nicaragua, so giving is part of school life from the earliest grades. Families can apply to the Opportunity Scholarship Fund for help with tuition.
