Шаблон:Infobox school Christ the King School (CKS) is a private, coeducational, Roman Catholic K-8 school in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, United States.[1] CKS is one of the five affiliate schools with the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.[2]

History

CKS was established in 1937 by the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart.[3][4] It is overseen by the Archdiocese of Atlanta.[3]

In 1940, high school grades were added.[5] However, these were discontinued in 1958 when St. Pius X Catholic High School opened.[5] It is located at 46 Peachtree Way NE in Georgia.[4]

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."[4]

In the fall of 2019, CKS opened a new building with science labs, a music room, a news room, and middle school classrooms.[4] This was the result of a $30 million capital campaign.[4]

Students and faculty

Its student population is 85% White, 9% Hispanic, 2% Asian, 1% Black, and 3% two or more races.[3] The total number of students for the 20021–21 school year is 570.[6] Sixteen percent of the students receive financial aid.[2]

CKS has 35 classroom teachers.[7] The student–teacher ratio is 15 to 1.[7]

Mrs. Patricia Ward was the CKS principal in 2018.[4] She was followed by Brian Newhall.[4] The current principal is Melissa Lowry.[8]
