Christ the King School puts kids first and strives for excellence. The leadership is connected with the families, teachers and is a true community. As alumni and having my own children graduate or in attendance I can attest to the focus on study skills, top notch curriculum, and focus on preparing our children for high school and the future.

Christ the King School provides the perfect combination of academic excellence in a faith based environment. CTK not only offers a diverse array of academic, artistic and athletic opportunities but they reinforce the values and beliefs we teach at home. In grade school, our children are not only being informed, but they are being formed and CTK with their caring faculty and challenging curriculum is well equipped for this most important job. Graduates of CTK consistently go on to excel in high school, college and beyond.

We switched our kids here because the public schools were not good. The Principal is new, and she is on top of everything. The kids well being is a priority in this school which is nice. They care about the kids. The school work is balanced, and challenging. There isn't a foreign language- but surprisingly most schools here don't have it like other states. They do have a music program (blows the public schools "ukulele" program out of the water). The kids play REAL gym games- unlike the "Tony Little" gym teachers at the public school. My kids actually like gym class again. They use Edline so you can keep track of grades and homework easily. The Principal has been great. So far so good!

We have been so happy with Christ the King School! My daughter graduated a few years ago and she was well prepared for High School. My youngest attends the preschool program and loves it! The students practice their faith daily and learn to walk with Jesus. My youngest said it best, " I love Christ The King , the teachers are nice"

I am a graduate of Christ the King, and now my son attends the school. I couldn't be happier with CTK, both as a student and as a parent of a student. The environment is safe, positive and encouraging, and it feels like a second home. The other families are wonderful, and all of the parents are so involved and caring. If you are considering this school, I wouldn't look anywhere else - it is fantastic! The academics are challenging and interesting, and the teachers prepare students above and beyond for high school and college. I had absolutely no trouble transitioning to both high school and college, thanks to the phenomenal education I received at CTK.

I have gone to Christ the King since I was in PreK. I would not change the education I got at that school for any other school in the world. The faculty and staff were wonderful, respectful people who encouraged students to do their best. The school offers challenges for above-average kids and wonderful resource teachers for the struggling students. It's a bit expensive, but the money is worth it for the great education. The school has great extra-curricular programs as well. I participated in cross country and volleyball, scholastic bowl, math counts, mission club, and the school choir. Homework is slim if you use your time wisely. The 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders participate in a math and history fair, presented at the third quarter open house. Based on these projects, you can tell that the teachers are doing a great job encouraging the students. This is a great school and it prepares your kids for high school. The only shaky thing about the school is the principal. But she isn't involved enough to make a huge difference. Overall, I think this is a great school. I could and have made a whole essay on this topic. If you send your kids to this school, you will not regret it.

Christ the King is an excellent school. Strong in academics and extra-curricula activities. Would not send my kids to any other school.

Have two in the school. Works very well for those that are average or slightly above. Not sure kids are challenged if they are above average or get help if below average. Dedicated staff. Weak principal. Nice families. Have not experienced that it is all about money at all.
