As a longtime Oklahoma City private school closes, a new public charter school will offer free education in its place.
W.K. Jackson Leadership Academy is now enrolling pre-K through third grade for its first school year this fall. Authorized under Rose State College, the charter school will operate in an education center attached to St. John Missionary Baptist Church, 5700 N Kelley.
The prominent east-side church has housed St. John Christian Heritage Academy since 1989, but the private elementary school will close this year.
The new charter school’s executive director, Gloria Anderson, said the academy plans to add more grade levels in the future. Officials have a long-term goal of establishing a middle and high school.
