The catholicity of our school is one of our strengths. It is evident we are a catholic school. We are all human and we do make mistakes and catholic values and virtues guide the process to work through them, the little ones and the big ones.

“The choice to send our children to Christ the King school was an easy one. They provide an exceptional faith-based education, with loads of extracurricular activities to meet the needs of each student. The school and all faculty members help to provide a sense of belonging amongst students and parents. The teachers are very dedicated and are extremely responsive when we have any questions or concerns. We believe Christ the King School provides our children with the best education while instilling a strong sense of values and beliefs.”

Dear Ms. Carreiro, the teachers, staff, parents and students at Christ the King School:

In January of 2017 we first visited Christ the King School, my husband and I were interested in transitioning our children into a different school environment and family members had highly recommended that we look into CTK. We immediately knew that Christ the King was the School we wanted our children to attend for the remainder of their elementary and junior high school years and we were thrilled when both of the girls were accepted for the 2018/2019 school year.

Dear Ms. Carreiro, the teachers, staff, parents and students at Christ the King School:

In January of 2017 we first visited Christ the King School, my husband and I were interested in transitioning our children into a different school environment and family members had highly recommended that we look into CTK.  We immediately knew that Christ the King was the School we wanted our children to attend for the remainder of their elementary and junior high school years and we were thrilled when both of the girls were accepted for the 2018/2019 school year.

Our children (Grades 1 and 3) began attending classes in September of 2018.  We had several expectations from the school from the outset – a smaller environment, higher academic standards, parent/school communication, a commitment to student safety.  We were not disappointed – all of the elements that we were looking for were there.

What I would like to share with you are the other “bonus” pieces that we did not even consider – but are so grateful for.  The values that are instilled in our children and all of the other students – this is a setting filled with warmth, compassion and kindness – from the first week children from all grades knew our children’s names and take the time to say hello as they pass by.  The students are held to high standards – not just by faculty and parents but more importantly by one another.  Every opportunity is one to learn from – children are accountable for their actions – and the approach is gentle and one that fosters positive growth.

The academic standard is higher than we expected – teachers and support staff meet each of the students where they are to help them learn, develop and grow.  We love the teachers and staff – and we love ALL of them – this is an incredible group of people, every one of whom takes the extra time to know the kids – they lead by example – which is so very important because the people who teach our children have the privilege of spending more waking hours with our kids than we do as parents.  The girl’s teachers are incredible – they have been consistently available for communication – whether it be regarding academics or social development.

As parents we were naturally concerned about the impact that changing schools would have on the girls – as expected there was a period of transition.   The transition was more gentle and smooth than we could have asked for – the girls love this school, they have made friends – the type of fun, kind friend a parent hopes their child will find.  The parents of those friends are incredible human beings – nurturing and fostering those friendships to help them grow.  The kids love hot dog days and colour days and all of the exciting details that are so carefully planned out by the school staff, teachers and volunteers.  I cannot even begin to describe how my heart melted to hear our children signing “halleluiah” as they prepared for the school Christmas concert.

Christ the King School is a community that our family has been warmly welcomed into – we drop our children off at school every day – with peace of mind that they are safe, well taken care of and on the road to growing into the incredible people that they have all of the potential to be.

Sincerely,

S & L. Johnson

“Our children began attending Christ the King School in September of 2019 and we currently have 3 children in Kindergarten and Grades 2 and 5.  As background due to my profession, our family lived in Southern Ontario and the United States during 2017 and 2018. This unfortunately led to our children having to change schools on a number of occasions which was certainly tough for our children. We have experienced both small and extremely large school environments.

Once we were able to settle back in Winnipeg, myself having graduated from Christ the King School many years ago had known how enjoyable my experience was for me and so naturally wanted for my kids to experience this as well. Despite my already lofty expectations, they have been pleasantly surpassed. My children were immediately accepted into a warm and friendly environment from both the staff and other students and to my amazement, my children developed relationships with other students almost within days.

The small school environment, academic standards, and ease of communication between parents and staff has no doubt made me realize that this was the school for us. Furthermore, I strongly feel the school properly prepares for the kids transition to high school.

We certainly have been accepted into the Christ the King community and could not be happier that we made the decision to have our children attend Christ the King School.”

“My husband and I always thought we would send our kids to the Catholic school I attended as a child.   When the time came for our son to start school, we visited multiple open houses for Catholic schools that offered a pre-Kindergarten program, just to make sure we were making the right decision.  When we went to Christ the King (CTK) School, it felt very welcoming and it had a strong sense of community.  It was evident that the leadership and teaching staff were organized, engaged and passionate. We really liked the fact that the school was small with a flexible before and after school program, and our kids could be bussed to grandma’s house after school when needed.

 To our surprise, we did not send our son to the school we originally planned but made the decision to enroll our son at CTK. We have been extremely happy with our decision and have not looked back.

 Within two weeks of starting the Junior Kindergarten program, our son’s coloring and drawing showed noticeable improvement. He talks about “Kelso’s Choice”, which has given him the tools to deal with conflicts that may arise with other children at school (and his baby sister at home). He also talks more about God. Most importantly, he looks forward to going to school every morning.  We feel that the Junior Kindergarten program has been an excellent balance of learning and play that sets a solid foundation for Kindergarten and the rest of his academic and social life.

 The teaching staff at CTK have been wonderful with our son and we have peace of mind sending him to school even during the pandemic, as we know they will go the extra mile to keep the kids safe. Communication with the teacher has been easy and seamless. We can contact her by email as needed and she always responds promptly (even after hours).  We also use the communication sleeve to send notes as needed in our son’s backpack.

We are extremely pleased that we have made the decision to send our son to CTK School. We know that if issues arise in the future, we will be able to discuss them openly with the teacher and principal. As a new family to the school, we highly recommend CTK and hope this information helps make an important decision easier.”
