Our Students
TSAS students come from every zip code in Tulsa and are alumni of 40 different schools, creating an authentically diverse, multipartial, and intersectional school that mirrors society at large.
Open Enrollment
New students selected by a random lottery. Class sizes are 18:1 on average to ensure every student feels KNOWN, CHALLENGED, and LOVED in their learning environment. TSAS works hard to engineer a school culture that is open, relational, and humanizing to the highest degree.
