About Us
Since 1954, Christ the King Catholic School in Jacksonville, FL, has a long tradition of inspiring faith and excellence in students. The school offers a fully accredited education for children of all faiths in grades kindergarten through 8th. We are accredited through the Florida Catholic Conference, and we are under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Teachers are certified by the State of Florida or have Letters of Endorsement from Superintendent Conway in the subjects they are teaching.
In 2010, the school was awarded the national Blue Ribbon Award by the U.S. Department of Education. Christ the King was one of the first schools in the Diocese of St. Augustine to receive this award. The school continuously strives to live up to this high standard of academic achievement.
In 2017, the school became the first in Florida to become certified in STREAM by the Florida Catholic Conference. This certification recognizes our curriculum focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
Special Designations & Acknowledgments
We are proud to be recognized as a Purple Star School, honoring our commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families. This special designation reflects our dedication to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for those who serve our nation.
In 2021, Christ the King Catholic School was awarded the Green Ribbon from the Department of Education for achieving the following three pillars; reducing the environmental impact of the school, improving the health & wellness of students, and teaching environmental & sustainability issues. The reason CTK is following these three pillars is to honor Pope Francis’ call in Laudato Si.
Christ the King School has achieved a STREAM designation. STREAM is a curriculum focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Catholic schools additionally incorporate Religion and Art. The reasons we are pushing this are:
- STREAM provides students an opportunity to apply Catholic values when making decisions about the natural, material and technical world and to realize their impact on the world.
- STREAM provides students with an opportunity to improve their communication and interpersonal skills through collaboration as well as the gathering & dissemination of valid data.
- STREAM provides students an opportunity to engage in creative problem-solving and foster an interest in future fields of study through the use of real-world scenarios.
Christ the King Catholic School was awarded the Blue Ribbon for academic excellence in 2010 for standardized test scores in the top 10% of the nation in both reading and math.
