Harding Independence Charter District is a small public charter school district serving 5th grade to 12th grade students in the Oklahoma City metro area. We are an open access district with a mission to provide our students with high-quality educational opportunities that will prepare them for college. We are proud of the diverse demographics of our school communities and of the academic growth that our students achieve with us. The small size of our schools allows our teachers to develop mentoring relationships with students. Our administration has an open-door policy and welcomes the perspective and feedback of teachers.
Parents who desired the best educational experiences for their children founded both Independence Charter Middle School (ICMS) and Harding Charter Preparatory High School (HCPHS). The educational philosophy of ICMS & HCPHS is that of a small school environment where the former prepares their students for a college-preparatory high school and the latter is a College Board, Advanced Placement Curriculum. A highly trained faculty aids in the implementation of our rigorous curriculum. The Harding Independence Charter District (HICD) faculty and administration employ a transitional philosophy from the environment of middle school to the rigors and demands of high school. ICMS & HCPHS are staffed by a committed group of professionals who provide the structure and environment to use the full range of their professional expertise in providing the best educational experiences for the children they serve. We believe in a collaborative environment where faculty and administration work together for the benefit of students.
