History
In 1995, Teresa Knox founded Dental Directions: The School of Dental Assisting. During its first year of business, Dental Directions graduated twelve students. In 1996, the college initiated application for accreditation with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). By mid-1998, more than 300 students had graduated from the Dental Assistant program. After this initial success, Dental Directions, Inc. began doing business under the name Community Care College (CCC) and ABHES accreditation was granted.
In 2003, the college moved to its current location at 4242 S. Sheridan Road after purchasing the building from QuikTrip. In 2004, CCC began offering Associate of Applied Science degrees, which was changed to an Associate of Occupational Science Business and Industry Management degree in 2017.
Clary Sage College
Clary Sage College (CSC) is a cosmetology college based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Clary Sage College was established by Teresa Knox in 2005 as a branch campus of Community Care College. The college grants the Associate of Occupational Science degree in several programs to students taking additional courses at the main campus, Community Care College.
The success of Community Care College led to a decision by Knox to expand the career-based college by creating a second campus. Clary Sage College was developed to provide an advanced education in the field of cosmetology, operating simultaneously as a cosmetology college and functioning spa so students could practice their skills and build clientele in a professional, real-world setting. In 2010, CSC expanded to include programs in Fashion and Interior Design. Summer of 2015, the college converted from for-profit to nonprofit status in order to expand educational opportunities to those that need it the most through increased scholarships and reduced tuition.
The school is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) and licensed by the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology and the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools.

=In 2006, construction began on the current campus at 3131 S Sheridan Road. The property sits on six acres and is one of the largest schools of its kind in the United States. The first floor was designed to resemble an upscale spa and includes a salon floor, barber shop, massage and esthetician clinics, pedicure and manicuring rooms, and a dispensary, all of which are used for the "hands-on" components of the curriculum of each program. The second floor hosts classrooms, computer lab and library.

Oklahoma Technical College
The success of Clary Sage College led to a decision to establish Oklahoma Technical College (OTC), offering programs in Automotive Technology, AOS Diesel Technology, Diesel Technology, Electrical Technology, Welding, and Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Refrigeration. OTC opened in 2009.
The colleges operated under a for-profit corporation for 20 years but in 2015 the colleges became non-profit when their assets were acquired by a newly formed 501(c)(3) public charity, Community HigherEd.
