McCall’s Chapel School was founded by Mrs. Phala Bost in 1954 to accommodate the special needs of four children.

The mission was to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children could acquire suffi cient life, social, and vocational skills to facilitate their enjoyment of rich, self determined, and fulfi lling lives. By 1968, the number of individuals receiving services from McCall’s had grown to 46 children and adult clients. In 1970, McCall’s continued expansion by purchasing a 196 acre property adjacent to Ada, Oklahoma, to serve as the location for a modern, state-of-the-art residential facility for the constantly growing number of individuals seeking high-quality support. Today, McCall’s serves 301 adults with intellectual disabilities, including 148 clients that live on the main campus and 153 that live in the greater Ada and Oklahoma City Areas. In 2021, Sarkeys Foundation awarded McCall’s Chapel School a grant of $50,000 toward renovations of the Odyssey Sheltered Workshop, which delivers educational and occupational benefi ts to 148 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Oklahoma. The Odyssey building also houses a geriatirc program, two rooms for counseling, an infi rmary with medical supplies storage, a sensory stimulation room, and a break area with a kitchen.
