[edit] History

In 2005 ideas of a private school at a local church named the Main and Oklahoma Church of Christ were originated. The idea of the school was that they would follow the ABEKA Curriculum on DVDS. The idea of the school did not become a reality until spring of 2006 when plans began and the idea was approved by the leaders of the church building being used.

By the end of the school year its enrollment was at 33 students.

On August 16, 2007 McAlester Christian Academy opened up its doors for its second year but this time to 43 students.
