Corn Bible Academy was established in
Corn, Oklahoma in 1902, founded on the godly principles of
the Mennonite Brethren Church. A group of Russian/German
immigrants settled in the central western part of the
Oklahoma Territory, determined to build a community with a
deep devotion to Christian faith and biblical principles,
experience in agriculture, an appetite for hard work, and a
desire for prosperity. A foundational concern in developing
this community was an education facility that would guide
and equip their youth for life.
Since 1902, Corn Bible Academy has been a strong leader
in western Oklahoma in Christian education. The school is
the oldest Christian school west of the Mississippi River,
and is just as sound today as it was in its beginnings. With
a dedicated faculty and staff totaling 25 and an enrollment
of 100 students in grades 7-12, CBA provides a
Christ-centered education that prepares its students for
life beyond high school.
Corn Bible Academy is accredited by the state of Oklahoma
and the Association of Christian Schools International.
Students who come to CBA are provided with
-
a high quality college preparatory
education

a full array of competitive sports
such as volleyball, football, basketball, softball,

Not only does CBA serve as a beacon in western Oklahoma,
the school attracts students from several different states
and countries, as well! Corn Bible Academy has had students
from states such as Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and
Ohio, and as far away as Germany, South Africa, and
Indonesia! On campus, the school provides dormitory housing
with full-time dorm parents for these students, as well as
other Oklahoma students who would have to travel a long
distance each day to attend classes. Each weekend, these
dorm students either go to their own homes or to host homes
who agree to "adopt" them every weekend during the nine
months of school.
The school's mission is clear:
CBA is providing a Christ-centered environment to help
parents train their children to grow in knowledge, strength,
spirit, and in relation with God and others.
