Education at Christ the King School is viewed as a cooperative effort between family, school, church, and community which broadens and enriches the sense of identity and consistency so vital in building the total educational program. Together with the family, the school provides an opportunity for moral development within a climate of support and openness. Using Catholic/Christian values, students are encouraged to make responsible choices.
The instructional program at Christ the King school allows for a progression of skills and competencies. Each student is encouraged to advance at the pace most appropriate to his or her age, developmental stage and ability, and to accept the responsibility for his or her own learning. Christ the King School is accredited by and meets the standards of the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). All teachers maintain valid certification. Students at all levels receive instruction in the core subjects of religion, reading, mathematics, language arts, spelling, writing, science, social studies, and the enrichment programs.

Reporting and Grading
A report card will be issued for all grades, Kindergarten eighth, four times during the year at the end of each quarter to inform parents of their child's progress. In addition, student’s grades are visible on Edline for second through eighth grade classes.
Parents of Kindergarten students will receive four (4) report cards, four (4) interim progress reports and will have three (3) scheduled Parent-Teacher Conferences. For grades pre-first through eighth, Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled on the school calendar once a year with an optional conference in the spring. Additional conferences are available as needed and must be pre-scheduled between the teacher and parent. Report card grades and comments will not be changed without supporting data and documentation; all such changes require the principal's approval.
Recognition

Throughout the school year, groups of students who serve the school and parish community are also recognized.
