The St. Isidore Catholic Virtual School envisions a learning opportunity for all students whose parents desire a quality Catholic education for their child regardless of where they live in Oklahoma. Our statewide virtual charter school will enable students to be immersed in a robust liberal arts program that opens the student to the best of the Catholic intellectual tradition.

Our virtue-based program will help each student realize their individual gifts and talents while developing strong moral character and integrity.
