Economic Need
85%
of families in South OKC qualify for free and reduced-price meals.
Economic poverty often correlates to deficits in emotional, mental, spiritual, physical, and linguistic development in children.
These children often experience
• unstable emotional-behavioral conditions in the home

Help Us Fulfill Our Vision
St. Paul’s is a private school, primarily funded by outside donations and grants, and secondarily by tuition. In order to fulfill our vision of making this education available to all families, tuition will be paid on a sliding scale based on income.
For now our giving is being redirected through Christ Community Church. Click the box to be directed to their donation site and donate to the “Education” fund.
