At Drexel Academy, we have worked extremely hard to ensure that our students are surrounded by the best staff and faculty possible to fulfill their educational needs. We believe that we have assembled the best Pre-K through Fifth Grade teachers that the city of Tulsa has to offer and would love to spotlight their dedication and effort they put forth daily. From our office manager to our Principal and President, we want parent’s to be sure their children are in the best hands possible from the moment they arrive at our facilities until they return home for the day.
