Mission
Christ the King Cathedral School is a Catholic school where students, in their educational journey, grow as unique individuals in the spirit of Jesus Christ toward spiritual maturity. The school regards itself as an integral part of the parish and Diocese and a vital force for preparing future leaders to share their faith through service to family and community.
Christ the King Cathedral School is child–centered and is committed to providing strong academic and development programs which enable children to achieve their full potential. We empower children to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. The faculty and staff are faith-filled, dedicated, knowledgeable in their professions, and strive to meet the individual needs of the children. The school is sensitive to family issues and encourages parents/guardians to fulfill their role as the first educator of their child.
