Providing social, spiritual and personal development for First American students, this cottage-style housing facility sits on 160 acres overlooking Lake Texoma.
The Chickasaw Children’s Village provides a safe, nurturing environment, and develops individual needs assessments for each student. Staff works to address each student’s emotional, spiritual, social and physical needs. Located in a rural area, hiking, gardening and livestock programs teach responsibility, life skills and channel youthful energy into positive results.
Designed as an alternative to the dormitory approach to housing students, each cottage accommodates approximately eight students and two house-parents who offer support, direction and guidance. In addition, students have access to a library, computer lab, mental wellness resources, agriculture education facility and recreation areas.
Students at the village attend the Kingston school system, where they are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities. Tutoring services and flexible academic curriculum are designed to meet the needs of every student, including courses for college-bound, vocational, remedial, special education and at-risk students.
Applications are accepted year-round until accommodations are full.
