Monte Cassino School

We are very grateful to be a part of the Monte Cassino community. The teachers are excellent, the classroom sizes are small, and the administrators are responsive and always looking to better the programs offered. I am consistently impressed with the projects my daughters tackle in the classroom, including project-based learning, book writing, and an economics fair. As early elementary students, they have participated in meaningful extracurricular activities as well, such as "lunch bunch" groups focused on emotional and social wellbeing, coding and tech beyond the bell clubs, and basketball. We have appreciated and grown through each and every opportunity. When my youngest started first grade and had to switch to a new building with bigger kids, she told me after her first day: "it did not even feel like school, it felt like home." She said it better than I could. If you are in Tulsa, definitely come by for a visit to this special community!

Both of my boys have been at Monte Cassino for 7 years. We love the faculty and staff! The community is so amazing. We love Monte Cassino!

Monte Cassino is truly an incredible school. The Teachers and Administrators go above and beyond to give each child the best educational experience possible. The parent/teacher/administrator communication is unparalleled. Every week you are set up for success with a Sunday communication outlining the week's activities for all grades. Each Principal takes the time and care to provide a written letter to keep the parents informed and engaged. I am so impressed by the academic performance evaluations that take place three times a year which allows you to track your child's progress throughout the school year. Your child's teacher takes the time to meet with you to discuss the evaluations and then helps tailor your child's education to best meet their individual needs. We have seen our daughter thrive in her academic studies but also in her social and emotional skills. They have established lunch bunch groups that help children develop positive communication skills with their classmates. The school mantra of "Be a Saint" speaks volumes to the entire atmosphere of the community. We cherish the valuable lessons our daughter has learned in growing her faith while attending Monte Cassino. I would highly recommend Monte Cassino as a parent who has seen my child excel in her faith, education, and social development.

Monte Cassino has been amazing for our 2 girls. We have enjoyed the small class sizes, incredible teachers and staff, and the numerous options with extracurricular activities. Our oldest daughter transferred in elementary school and it felt like she never skipped a beat. It has been a great learning environment and the best investment we have made for our children.

The Monte Cassino experience is the gold standard in pre-K to 8th-grade education. Monte educates the whole person. Teachers are exceptional and always accessible. Excellent leadership and communication from the administration. PTO is robust with many opportunities to volunteer at school, and social events that build community and support parents in their child's development. Our daughter loves the visual arts programs (both in-school and after-school); great developmental programs in sports are available, even to pre-K, in addition to regular PE classes and other fun PE programs throughout the year (like the Octoberfest Run and Backyard Game Day). Programming for gifted students and students in need of support; the small group and one-on-one reading support given our daughter was critical to regaining those foundational concepts she missed during COVID.

Our family has enjoyed being part of the Monte Cassino School community for over fifteen years. Our kids have loved their time there and the teachers are truly phenomenal. Small class sizes, challenging curriculum, accessible faculty, exceptional parent involvement in a Christian environment. We have been happy with our experience and our children were over-prepared for high school. We're very grateful for Monte Cassino!

This is our second year at Monte Cassino and we have had a wonderful experience. Both of our children are in The REACH program and it has been life-changing. My son has really struggled in school, he is severely dyslexic and has dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. We came from a public school that didn't know how to help him and now he is thriving at Monte. The teachers are amazing and know how to teach those with learning differences as well as those who excel. More importantly, the teachers are highly trained using evidence-based curriculum and have been more than accommodating for my children who don't "fit in the box"! The only negative thing I can say is they don't have a high school.

After moving from the Netherlands Monte Cassino helped our son (12 yr) to blend in super smooth and he got all the help he needed which such a difficult transition.

Monte Cassino School is an institution we have trusted with the education and well-being of our children for over a decade. Students are educated in a warm, nurturing environment where the faculty, staff, and administration make each child feel both valued and supported. Our two children could not be more different in their learning styles and attention spans, and both have been cared for in a way that worked for them. Classroom sizes are small and quality of education is high. We love the feeling of community, the range of programs including art, music, and sports, the school traditions, and the confidence we have in the values instilled in our children at Monte Cassino. There are many private Christian schools to choose from in Tulsa and I would choose Monte Cassino every time because we have had such a great experience.

I have taught at Monte Cassino for many years. I love the spirit of this community. It is a caring, loving group of students, parents, teachers and administration all working together to do the best for all of our students. Our motto says it all....Every day at Monte Cassino we do our best, so that is all things God may be glorified.

My sons attended Monte Cassino middle school, went on to graduate from Booker T Washington high school with IB diplomas (International Baccalaureate) and then both to private universities with scholarships. They freely admit that it was the strength of the middle school that let them be so successful for the rest of their education. I can't thank Monte Cassino enough for giving them such a great foundation.

Monte Cassino is hands down, the best Independent Catholic school in Tulsa. All of our kids started Monte in the 3 year old program. Our oldest child is getting ready to finish her time at Monte and we are confident that she is ready to tackle High School because of the preparation she received here. In addition to the rigors of the academics, Monte Cassino underpins the school experience with Benedictine values. We wanted a place that could balance the academic side with teaching our kids about faith. We are a Catholic family, but appreciate the fact that since the founding of the school, children of all faiths have been welcomed here. For a K-8 school, Monte has a robust Athletics program providing opportunities for kids of all abilities. Our kids have enjoyed after school programming like Science Explorers and Makerspace. Our oldest has taken advantage of the after school study hall offered (at no charge) to Middle School students. The teachers are caring and work tirelessly to make sure your child is ready for High School. We are so glad we have been a part of the Monte Cassino family for the past 11 years!

My boys have been at Monte since the PreK 4's program. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the ECLC, but did consider leaving to go to Eisenhower for the immersion program. When considering EIS and other schools, I told my husband that we should also look into what Monte offered... beyond the ECLC. We called and set up an appt with (then headmaster) Matt Vereeckee and Brooke Jones who spent a full two hours taking us through the Elementary and Middle Schools, answering every question we had and absolutely blowing our minds with the science labs, after-school specialty programs, in-school bonus programs, extracurricular, sports, support and more! Truly, the 6th grade project where the kids free-draw the world with labels is incredible. And it's things like that which make Monte so special... just when you think it may be too much or your kid thinks it's too much, those teachers are there to help and support them all along the way. We are so happy that we chose to stay at Monte and not transfer out. Now at the Elementary, both of my boys have found their places and absolutely love going to school every day. Yes, every day! As a parent, I have so enjoyed watching their confidence grow in and out of the classroom. School values are very in line with our home values, so I trust that when they are away, the teachers and staff take the extra time to focus on the values of what they`re teaching instead of just getting through the day. The teachers love what they do and it shows through their students. One of my favorite things to do is stand in the hallway as the school day finishes and watch the kids and teachers say their goodbyes. It`s very special to witness their sincere expressions of gratitude for one another. Outside of class, my boys have made the most wonderful friends from such wonderful families and we honestly couldn't be happier that we chose to keep our kids at Monte. We will stay for the Middle School as well, before heading off to Bishop Kelley for high school and are excited for what is still to come!

Monte Cassino has been the perfect fit for all 3 of my kids! My kids are all very different and for a school to accommodate all of their needs speaks volumes! From the ECLC to ES to the MS...they are all very welcoming, professional and nurturing. I now have a 9th grader at Cascia and he is extremely well prepared and thriving! I credit Monte for giving him that foundation to excel academically! Thank you, Monte Cassino! We couldn't imagine going anywhere else!

I could not imagine having my children at any other place. I have had two kids go through Monte and a third one still here. When faced with relocating out of town, my one biggest gut-wrenching issue was leaving Monte Cassino. It is a very special place. High academics, challenging but fun extra-curriculars (like Science Explorers and Math Masters) but most of all the caring teachers and administrators. They really take care of the kids - academically, emotionally and socially. I can't imagine entrusting my child to any other place. It is truly the best educational value when compared to other schools in Tulsa. Go visit, you'll be glad you did. Best of luck in your school search.
