When do you meet?
Our OKC campus meets each Tuesday/Thursday OR Wednesday/Friday from 10 am – 3:30 pm. Our Sapulpa/Tulsa campus meets each Monday and Wednesday from 10 am – 3:30 pm.
Where do you meet?
We are based out of Village Bible Church in OKC, OK and Forest Hills Baptist Church in Sapulpa, OK. (Cimarron School of Living Education is not affiliated with Village Bible Church and Forest Hills Baptist Church other than location.)
What curriculum do you follow?
Cimarron utilizes the Alveary curriculum from the Charlotte Mason Institute.
What is the role of parents at Cimarron?
Each Cimarron day, you just drop off your students! During the remaining 3 week days, parents are responsible for instruction at home.
What grades do you offer?
Cimarron offers grades Preschool through 12th grade at our OKC campus. Our Sapulpa campus serves grades Preschool through 8th grade, with plans to add additional grades each year.
How old must my child be to apply for Cimarron?
Students must be 4 years old by August 1st for entry into our Preschool program and 5 years old by August 1st for entry into our Kindergarten program.
How many students will be in my child’s class?
Most classes are limited to 12-14 students, depending on our grade level. Older classes are typically limited to 15-16 students. Our Cimarron is highly individualized with low class sizes, allowing teachers to differentiate learning and meet all students at their level.
Where do I obtain my student’s books and materials?
Cimarron provides all books and supplies for each student. Parents only need to send a lunchbox and water bottle for their child.
Do you assign homework?
Students in PK-8th grade will not receive homework. High school students will have some homework for some of their subjects.
How do you assess the students?
Cimarron does not grade PK-8th grade students in a traditional sense. Because of our small teacher-to-student ratio, teachers have the benefit of knowing each child well and can monitor progress and set expectations that are appropriate for each individual student. At the end of each term, teachers will administer comprehensive exams to evaluate students’ broad understanding. These exams may be oral or written, depending on the needs of the students and the curricular content. These exams are then reviewed by teachers and shared with parents.
High school students receive grades for their subjects.
Will the students wear uniforms?
Cimarron does not wish to inhibit a child’s comfort, or cause undue financial strain upon the clothing budget. We require that clothing and outerwear be appropriate for the season and weather. We also ask that clothing remains modest, respectful, and in alignment with our school dress code. Students are provided a school t-shirt before the Fall semester begins.
How will lunch work?
Each child will need to bring a packed lunch.
