Our Story: Meet the Mantles
Our daughter Aria has gone to King’s Gate for 2 years now and I like to say that we found this school accidentally on purpose. It started out as just trying to find a summer program for our 3-year-old and has turned into this wonderful family that I feel God led us to on purpose. Last year, when every parent was scared and struggling with how to approach their child’s education, we knew this was going to be the safest place for our daughter physically, spiritually and emotionally. King’s Gate is a little bubble of hope, encouragement and so much love! Through the guidance of her teachers, Aria has blossomed into a little spiritual warrior and we know her future at King’s Gate is full of promise.

Passage of OK Senate Bill 1080 Increases Education Opportunities
When the Oklahoma Legislature passed SB1080 this last legislative session, they increased the tax credit cap to Opportunity Scholarship Fund donors. According to a press release from the governor's office, the former Opportunity Scholarship Fund capped the tax credit payout at $5 million. This cap discouraged giving to the fund. SB1080 raised the cap to $50 million, split evenly between public and private schools.
When you give to the Opportunity Scholarship Fund, a tax-credit scholarship, you choose which school receives your donation.
OSF offers scholarships to students in grades K-12, with an emphasis on lower-income Oklahoma families. Students and families can better afford tuition at accredited private schools through this scholarship.
When you donate to OSF, you are eligible for Oklahoma tax credits and a state and federal deduction. Individuals or those filing jointly may receive a tax credit of up to 75% of their donation. Individuals may be credited up to $1,000 and those filing jointly may be credited up to $2,000. Qualified businesses may be credited up to $10,000!
Won't you join us in expanding our ministry to students who may not have the opportunity to experience learning the King's Gate way? Direct your taxes to King's Gate through the Opportunity Scholarship Fund.
