Casady School is an independent, Episcopal, coeducational, college preparatory school that provides a stimulating and supportive environment in which qualified students can grow and learn. Founded in 1947, the school offers students the opportunity to acquire an enduring love of learning, an understanding of traditional ethical principles, a social conscience and an appreciation for physical health.

Under the direction of Head of School Christopher C. Bright, more than 870 students at Casady are educated in a college campus-type atmosphere comprised of 29 buildings on 80 acres in northwest Oklahoma City, Okla. To recognize its standing among independent schools nationwide, Casady was awarded a prestigious endowment of $2 million from the Malone Family Foundation in May of 2006. Casady is one of 25 schools across the country to receive this honor.

The School is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest; recognized by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education; a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, National Association of Episcopal Schools, National Association for College Admission Counseling, Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools, The College Board and the Cum Laude Society.

PhilOsOPhyCasady School seeks to challenge and encourage each individual to realize his or her potential and to use it for self-fulfillment and the betterment of the community in which they live. Through an integrated program directed toward preparation for college, Casady strives to provide qualified boys and girls with an opportunity to acquire an excellent academic foundation within a positive and encouraging environment. As a result, a student should also acquire a positive self-image, openly accept others, and become an adaptable and contributing citizen within an ever-changing world.

sErviCE lEarningThe service program implements a 45-hour service requirement for graduation. Students have ownership of the who, what, where, when, why, and how of their service experience. Experiential youth voice, choice, and process empower leadership. Service focused on personal values, talents, interests, skills, and application of academic preparation allow students to find relevant and engaging volunteer opportunities. When students focus on the needs of others with passion, compassion, and love, they will give, learn, grow, and transform. Students are introduced to “learning service by doing” through the program’s director. The director’s trainings are guided by Lions Quest Skills for Action Curriculum and ShinnyoEn Foundation Six Billion Paths to Peace initiative. The program has offered a Skills for Action Independent Study course since 2006. In the summer of 2008 the program had its first Global Education Summer Service in Peru.

FinE artsThe Fine Arts Department at Casady School strives to expose students to a variety of visual and performing art forms in order to instill an appreciation of the arts, cultivate skills and original creative thought, and make informed critical responses. By promoting creativity, the arts enable students to develop positive self-esteem and inspire personal expression. Upper Division students who excel in the arts may pursue independent study in their chosen field, as well as produce portfolios for shows and for the college admission process. Upon graduation, our students have gone on to secure jobs in all aspects of art careers. Many have pursued further education in art history, photography and the film industry, fashion and design, as well as embarking on successful careers as producing artists.
