"Christ the King Catholic School is a wonderfully rich
learning community. Underlying our mission of academic excellence and
formation of Christian values lies a vital premise: that every child has
unique strengths, talents and interests that we try to encourage and
develop. At CKS, we dedicate ourselves to an educational approach that
nurtures the 'whole child,' in an environment of spiritual development,
academic excellence, moral values, service, and respect for one another.
This cohesive, diverse, vibrant school community is truly a gift to
Catholic education!"
