Clary Sage College

Clary Sage College stands as a vibrant private career college, dedicated to empowering students with the practical skills and knowledge needed for immediate career success. Founded in 1995, this institution is a key part of the larger Community Care College system, which has built a distinguished legacy of delivering career-focused education. Under the leadership of President Kimberly Sebastian, Clary Sage continues its mission to provide hands-on learning experiences that directly translate into professional opportunities.

The journey of the Community Care College system, to which Clary Sage belongs, began in 1995 with the founding of Dental Directions: The School of Dental Assisting by Teresa Knox. This initial venture quickly demonstrated its impact, graduating twelve students in its first year and expanding significantly to over 300 graduates by mid-1998. This early success paved the way for the institution's evolution, leading to its transformation into Community Care College and securing accreditation from the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES).

Clary Sage College, through its system's development, has continually adapted to meet industry demands. The institution began offering Associate of Applied Science degrees in 2004, later refining these into Associate of Occupational Science Business and Industry Management degrees by 2017, reflecting its commitment to relevant and robust academic pathways. A testament to the system's impact and future potential, Community Care College and Oklahoma Technical College, both part of the same educational network, received an extraordinary US $16 million donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott in December 2025 – the largest single gift in their history, underscoring their significant role in higher education.
