These are the same parents that micro manage everything and get upset if things don't go their way. Some parents go as far as disciplining other children in front of their own parents at sporting or outside events. It is a good little school and offers a lot to a child. Lots of diversity. Read less

Christ the King is a top notch school. First, the class sizes are small. That is a plus any way you look at it. At Christ the King, the Kindergarteners are reading, counting money and telling time! That type of learning doesn t happen in class sizes of twenty or more. There is very little bullying

At Christ the King, the teachers, principal and staff work hard with all the children to educate them on how to treat one another. They actually have a bullying program in place! I have met many of the other parents from the school through weekend/nightly functions. These people are salt of the earth . Great parents and smart kids are what you will find at Christ the King!
