We have been nothing but thrilled with our experience at Christ King. Students are challenged academically in a loving and supportive way. Our Catholic faith is seamlessly woven into all aspects of student life in a way that makes the students excited about growing closer to the Lord. Class sizes offer great teacher-to-student ratios, and the teachers care for the children as if they were their own. Everyone working at CK wants the students to succeed. The community is especially welcoming and nonjudgmental, offering multiple opportunities for fellowship, volunteering, and socialization. We are so grateful to have found this community and can't imagine being anywhere else!
