Independent & Unaffiliated Schools in North OKC, Nichols Hills & Quail Springs
10 independent & unaffiliated schools in North OKC, Nichols Hills & Quail Springs; 8 are on the Tax Commission's credit list. From the Lake Hefner neighborhoods up to Memorial Road: the metro's long-established independent day schools, two Catholic elementaries and a cluster of classical and early-learning campuses.
Where this comes from. School records combine the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, or 2021-22 for schools that did not respond), the Oklahoma Tax Commission's Parental Choice Tax Credit participating-school list dated September 3, 2026, and OSDE's Lindsey Nicole Henry approved-school list dated September 24, 2026, all retrieved October 28, 2026. Tuition is not reported to either agency; confirm it with the school.
Funding note: The credit applies the same way at a secular school as at a religious one: up to $5,000-$7,500 depending on household income, never more than tuition and fees.
