ADVISORY MODEL

Every student has an advisory period in their day for a positive and interactive relationship between each student and their individual advisor. Our advisors work to build a safe and open relationship with each student through hands-on activities and lessons that kick start and feed the mind. We pair a student with an advisor who will follow and support them for many years to help them master and become confident in project-based learning, collaborative ideas, and student-led free thinking.

VISION STATEMENT

Tulsa Met facilitates the love of learning through innovative teaching and hands-on skills in a safe, caring, inclusive environment. 

MISSION STATEMENT

Tulsa Met commits to improving students’ current academic performance and graduating students who are prepared to choose a successful post-graduation path which could include college, tech ed, military service or the work force.  We plan to continue to offer on-site counseling services to families and students to help them navigate through traumatic experiences that may hinder educational focus.

• Are welcomed into a holistic and non-traditional school setting, including project-based learning, community-centered partnerships, alternative scheduling, and personal attention.

OUr team

The Tulsa MET Middle and High School staff is as unique as our student body. Our faculty understands that our students are creative, passionate, and have interests outside of school.

Students are more than a test score. We see every child for who they are and create an individualistic educational environment to help them develop the skills they need throughout college, career, and life, while working to use each individual skill set to improve humanity.
