About the Employer

Holy Family Classical School forms Christian disciples through a classical, Catholic education centered on Christ who is the source of all Truth, Goodness, Beauty, and Unity.

Holy Family Classical School is a Catholic classical liberal arts school under the auspices of the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma. Founded by Saint Katharine Drexel 120 years ago, Holy Family Classical School provides an exceptional Catholic and classical education in the spirit of our saintly foundress.

St. Katharine’s mission continues today, strongly supported by the unwavering commitment of Bishop David Konderla. Located in the heart of downtown Tulsa amidst one of the nation’s highest concentrations of art deco architecture, Holy Family Classical School is just minutes away from the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, the Philbrook Museum of Art, Cherry Street, the Gathering Place, and the Gilcrease Museum. Within a very short drive in most directions, members of our community can be equally immersed in nature as in art. Many neighborhoods within minutes of the Classical School are marked by extraordinary beauty, by urban, suburban, and even striking natural vistas.

Our thriving diocesan community is supported by our highly engaged and beloved Bishop David Konderla. The Alcuin Institute for Catholic Culture serves as a resource for all diocesan teachers and leaders, while Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey supports the people of the diocese through their witness of dedicated prayer and work.
