At Tulsa Legacy Charter School, education sparks curiosity, builds character, and nurtures a deep sense of belonging. The Scholar Experience is designed to grow the whole child: academically, socially, and emotionally. Through joyful learning and strong relationships, scholars move forward with confidence and purpose.
A hallmark of the Legacy experience is our Pride System. Every scholar — and every teacher — belongs to one of three Prides: Shaka, Desiderio, or Ohana. Each Pride reflects two of our CREATE values, ensuring that the full set of six is woven into everyday life at TLCS.
Our CREATE values guide every decision, interaction, and classroom moment. Together, they ensure our scholars and staff are empowered to build lasting legacies:

Prides create community with a sense of wonder and spirit. They are places where every scholar is seen, valued, and celebrated for their unique strengths. Prides:
Through this system, TLCS builds a strong and lasting community where all scholars feel they are part of something bigger than themselves.
