The word "community" defines CKS. The teachers know and truly love their students. We have three kids at Christ the King and we are so happy. More importantly, they are happy and love going to school each day. The academic rigor is second to none and someone the amazing teachers are able to deliver a really, really strong and challenging curriculum without sacrificing fun.
