Dear Parent:
Thank you for your interest in Christ the King Catholic School, which offers a rigorous education program, rooted in Catholic faith and tradition, for children from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The school provides a strong spiritual atmosphere dedicated to the formation of the whole child. Centered upon the teachings of Jesus Christ, and dedicated to providing a rigorous academic program, varied extracurricular activities, and service to the community, Christ the King Catholic School is committed to not only fostering young people of conscience and character, but also civic minded, productive citizens.
We invite you to visit Christ the King Catholic School to meet our dedicated faculty, see our wonderful physical facilities and learn more about our outstanding academics and activities. The safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority and we have made many updates to the physical plant and are fortunate to have a full-time Security Resource Officer on campus. We are also blessed to have a counselor on campus, who supports the social-emotional health of our students. Our highly qualified teachers and administrators work closely with students and parents to help students achieve their full potential.
We are proud of our school facilities and community. The science lab, computer lab, art room and music room, as well as our individual classrooms offer an atmosphere steeped in Catholic tradition. While there are a variety of athletic activities offered at CK, the arts are well supported and attended with school plays, Greek and Shakespeare festivals, and our new Broadcasting class, which produces the “CK News” each week. Christ the King School also offers a resource program called SOAR (Supplemental Opportunities for Academic Readiness) that allows students with learning differences to receive additional individualized instruction. Our continued long-standing tradition of strong parental involvement and a family atmosphere is what makes our school community unique and inviting. Many of our students spend the majority of their childhood here at CK, and we take this responsibility to heart. Our aim is for our students to be safe, fully supported in all areas of their development, and faithful stewards of God’s gifts.
Please contact the school at 843-3909 with any questions you may have. We would be happy to arrange a tour of our school for you. You also may visit our website at www.ckschool.com for more information. We strongly urge you to consider Christ the King Catholic School for your family’s educational needs.
Sincerely,
Jenny Richard, PhD
Principal
Christ the King Catholic School
