I love this school.

My daughter graduated from CTK and then 4 years later I enrolled my son in Pre K. I checked out all the options we have available here in AZ and CTK was a clear choice. By God`s grace, we were accepted. I didn`t just join a school I joined a community of genuinely loving, caring and faith-filled family members. I love the faith-based education as well as advanced Math and Science. The future is bright for both my children thanks to CTK!
