Welcome to the Academics pages of Redeemer Lutheran Academy.  Here you will find details on the High School and Middle School requirements and courses.  We are currently pursuing our National Lutheran Schools Accreditation and will have that by the Spring of 2010.  This accreditation is recognized by the State of Oklahoma and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. 

In order to graduate, students entering the 9th grade on during the 2008-2009 school year are required to earn 24 credits in the following areas. These requirements meet or exceed the requirements of the State of Oklahoma.

Redeemer Lutheran Academy - Middle School Academic Program

Philosophy - Students in the Redeemer Lutheran Academy - Middle School are in transition from childhood to young adulthood.  Thus, these are special, exciting years as students experience sudden bursts of growth, not only in their bodies, but also in their spiritual, academic and social lives.  Redeemer strives to make these years stimulating, productive and enjoyable.  We desire to be in a partnership with the student and his or her family as they travel through these interesting, and oftentimes challenging, years.

Curriculum-Redeemer Lutheran Academy uses a daily core curriculum, enriched with additional courses and electives to meet the needs of our students.  These requirements meet or exceed those of the State of Oklahoma.
