We are so happy with our experience at Christ the King. As a stay-at-home mom I was nervous sending my oldest off to school for the first time, but my fears were instantly put at ease! The teachers and staff are so welcoming and create a warm, caring, and safe environment. We love that our children are being taught Catholic values that reinforce what we teach at home. But you don''t need to be Catholic to attend! They focus on core Christian values that are appreciated by many families. The smaller class sizes allow for personalized attention and a great education. Another major positive is the wonderful community of families. There are so many events, activities, and enrichments that children and/or families can enjoy that really make this school a special place. It''s a gem within the city!

We've had a wonderful experience at Christ the King. My daughter has grown tremendously—academically, socially, and spiritually—since enrolling. The school fosters a strong sense of community, with clear values and a warm, structured environment that supports every child. Having worked in public schools during and after COVID, I saw firsthand how hard it's been for many to regain their footing. Christ the King offered the consistency, care, and community I hoped for in my own child's education. The teachers and staff are excellent—attentive, communicative, and genuinely invested in the students. My daughter has loved forming friendships within her class and across grade levels through the school's buddy program. Aftercare and after-school clubs have also exceeded our expectations. They're well-run, enriching, and thoughtfully designed—something we've truly appreciated as working parents.
