Profile of a Successful Classen SAS Middle School Student 

Classen School of Advanced Studies Middle School seeks to admit bright and promising students from a broad range of socioeconomic, cultural and Oklahoma City community origins.  We look for students who have the potential to develop academic competence, artistic talent, creativity and leadership.  We employ a variety of measures to predict a student’s preparedness to succeed at Classen.

While academic successes gauged by test scores and grades are an important factor, subjective measures are utilized to measure a student’s willingness to take on the challenges of the Classen experience.

Classen seeks to combine a diverse population of student interests that provide a rich variety of experiences and worldviews. Learning to live in a diverse world transcends classroom interaction and promotes a community of reflective, principled and caring learners. The student selected for admission to Classen is one that will enrich the learning environment, thus increasing the value of education for the entire student body.

Successful students at Classen shall make a commitment to the rigor of the requirements and will sacrifice some activities to fulfill that commitment.  Due to the nature of the college preparatory curriculum, students--with parental support--will be expected to be prepared to complete accelerated work at each grade level.
