“Faith and reason,” wrote Saint Pope John Paul II, “are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.” At Christ the King (CTK), these wings guide our mission to form graduates who believe sincerely, think critically, and serve others in Christ’s name. CTK is an inclusive, co-educational community welcoming students of all faith traditions. We provide a rigorous, college preparatory education in a nurturing environment that celebrates each student’s God-given potential. Through an inquiry-based teaching model enriched by industry professionals and real-world applications, our students become lifelong learners and masters of the tools of learning.
