The Academy was formed in 2013 as a merger between Providence Hall Classical Christian School and Veritas Classical Academy. [2]

The school's office is located at 1120 East Hefner Road in Oklahoma City. It has three locations throughout the metropolitan area (Midtown, North, and South) to serve all grades. The Academy offers Grammar education in both traditional (5-day) and blended (2-day) options. Dialectic education includes 3-day and 5-day options, and Rhetoric offers traditional 5-day learning. Nathan Carr serves as Headmaster, [4] while Adam Mearse serves as the Rhetoric (high school) principal.

Athletics

After defeating Apache High School on a last-second basket by a score of 44–43 in a 2025 girls' basketball divisional championship game, the coach watched the game tape and realized that the team had been awarded the victory erroneously due to a scoring error that had given them two extra points. Even though the team was entitled to keep the title under league regulations, the players unanimously agreed to return the championship plaque to their opponents. [5]

"The Academy of Classical Christian Studies high school girls basketball team in Oklahoma City returned to the court this week, their first practice since last season's division championship game, where they hit a buzzer-beater against Apache High School that both ended the game, and started it all. After seemingly winning the title in the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association, Academy head coach Brendan King went home that same night and watched the game tape.... The game had ended with Academy winning 44-43, but King discovered the true score should have been 43-42, with Apache High coming out on top."
