About
At Tulsa Honor Academy (THA), a revolutionary approach to education is reshaping the future for students in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Through a disciplined, structured, and academically rigorous environment, THA is on a mission to equip all scholars with the essential academic skills, deep content knowledge, and strong ethical character required for college graduation and lifelong success. This innovative charter school network operates on the foundational belief that all children, irrespective of their background, race, or income level, possess the ability to achieve at the highest levels. The academy's technological and pedagogical systems are engineered to ensure that 100% of its scholars are on a clear and supported path to not only attend but to graduate from a college of their choice, a journey that begins as early as the fifth grade. The core of THA's innovation lies in its commitment to educational equity and excellence. Founded in 2015, the academy has developed a highly structured, back-to-basics, liberal arts educational model that prioritizes critical thinking through a heavy emphasis on English Language Arts (ELA) and STEM. This model is built upon seven core principles, including a highly structured 'strict and warm' environment, academic rigor, a focus on character development, and the strategic use of time to maximize learning. By fostering a culture of constant improvement, where both students and staff embrace feedback, and by valuing diversity and equity, THA creates a dynamic and supportive community. The academy makes bold, unapologetic choices in its relentless pursuit of its mission, ensuring every decision and resource is invested in preparing scholars for the rigors of higher education and a life of purpose and independence.
