Educational Philosophy
At John Rex Charter School, our educational philosophy is rooted in fostering a love of learning and preparing students for success in high school, college, career, and life. We provide a dynamic, student-centered learning environment that emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
Our curriculum integrates individualized and project-based learning, ensuring that every student receives personalized support to reach their full potential. Through engaging, hands-on experiences, students are encouraged to solve real-world problems, develop leadership skills, and cultivate a growth mindset.
Character development is at the heart of our approach, as we instill core values like respect, responsibility, and integrity. We proudly collaborate with our downtown Oklahoma City partners, offering unique educational opportunities that connect classroom learning with the vibrant culture and resources of our community. Our district works with the Arts Council of Oklahoma City, Myriad Botanical Gardens, Downtown Metropolitan Library, Oklahoma City Museum of Art, Oklahoma City Riversport & Boathouse, Oklahoma City Ballet, Oklahoma Youth Orchestra, West Village District, and more! These organizations create the context for limitless urban learning opportunities.
As a public charter school, we adhere to Oklahoma State Standards, delivering a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum designed to meet and exceed academic benchmarks. At John Rex, we empower students to excel academically, socially, and emotionally while building the skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
