• The administrators, faculty and staff of Christ the King share a vision for the full development of our students which enables the whole child to learn happily while preparing to take his/her place as an adult in our world.

Each child is accepted, loved, and treasured as a unique gift from God.  Christ the King is a place where every child CAN become successful.  Individualized education is promoted through high academic expectations, small class sizes, diversity, responsible decision making by students, and hands-on learning.  Each child is treated as a valued individual learner since we believe that each one develops at her/his own rate.

• Areas of special attention in our school environment are love for others, as well as for ourselves; high ideals of respect and justice, effective communication skills, and problem solving.  To achieve this kind of an education for each child, we employ a wide variety of instructional methods.  Teachers utilize integrated units of study, multiple intelligences, project-based lessons, learning blocks, and literacy workshops while focusing on a rich standards based curriculum.  Through our innovative teaching methods, our students commonly score two years above grade level on standardized tests.

At Christ the King Parish School, We Believe…..

• All children can learn.

• · All children benefit from developmentally appropriate practices, and strategies.

• · All children deserve a quality education in which individual needs are met, exceeded, and supported.

• · Social skills, such as Christskills, deserve the same attention as academic ones.

• · School is not just about children: it encompasses families, parents, community, stakeholders, society, the environment and the world.

• · Children must be encouraged to see the connections between new learning and prior knowledge.

• · Children are more than test scores.

• · Children learn best in a safe, caring environment, one that values diversity, collaboration, and risk-taking.
