Do you want to be part of a unique teaching environment that is paving the way for individualized learning across Oklahoma? Would you like to be able to spend enough one-on-one time with each student to bring out their maximum learning potential? Are you interested in the flexibility to control your own daily/weekly/ monthly schedule? If you answered yes to any of these questions, EPIC IS THE PLACE TO BE!

For additional information about our school, please visit our website.

Our goal is to allow our students to be all that they can be while bringing teachers and families together educationally to realize each student’s individual potential. Part of our uniqueness is that we are not a standard brick-and-mortar school - we work within a virtual environment. So if you have a working knowledge of computer technology, online education, and know how to provide exceptional customer service - we invite you to share in this vision and be a part of our innovative program! 

We are a unique learning environment that provides a non-traditional educational setting utilizing Internet-based, individualized self-paced instruction provided in nearly any location in Oklahoma. Epic faculty members are remotely based and travel to the student’s home or other designated location to work with each student and meet with parents on a regular basis throughout the year. And each of our students is assigned only one teacher for a personalized, one-on-one approach to learning. 

Because we are a virtual school, Epic employees must be self-starters with the ability to work independently. They must be able to create a flexible program and environment favorable to individual student’s learning and personal growth. We employ people that can easily establish effective rapport with students and their families, motivating students to develop, in accordance with each student’s ability, the skills, attitudes and knowledge needed for a good foundation for further success within the Epic Charter School program.
