Christ the King School (CKS) is a private, coeducational, Roman Catholic K-8 school in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, United States.[2] CKS is one of the five affiliate schools with the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.[3]
CKS was established in 1937 by the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart.[4] [5] It is overseen by the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
In 1940, high school grades were added.[6] However, these were discontinued in 1958 when St. Pius X Catholic High School opened. It is located at 46 Peachtree Way NE in Georgia.
The mission statement is: "Christ the King School, a nurturing, Christ-centered environment based on the Catholic tradition, fosters academic excellence, individual responsibility, spirituality, and growth of the whole child."
In the fall of 2019, CKS opened a new building with science labs, a music room, a news room, and middle school classrooms. This was the result of a $30 million capital campaign.
Its student population is 85% White, 9% Hispanic, 2% Asian, 1% Black, and 3% two or more races. The total number of students for the 20021–21 school year is 570.[7] Sixteen percent of the students receive financial aid.
CKS has 35 classroom teachers.[8] The student–teacher ratio is 15 to 1.
Mrs. Patricia Ward was the CKS principal in 2018. She was followed by Brian Newhall. The current principal is Melissa Lowry.[9]
