web-img_3567Founded in 1937 by the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart, Christ the King School is an Atlanta Archdiocesan K-8 school located in the Buckhead community of Atlanta. Christ the King School has been named a National School of Excellence, and a National Blue Ribbon School.

CKS Serves, a parent committee, fosters family service to the Atlanta-wide community. On the August Day of Service, 102 families participated in many projects including the refurbishing of the English Avenue Park and Library, the assembling of eighteen chest of drawers for Catholic Charities, and volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul.

CKS is proud to be one of the five affiliate schools with the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. This partnership allows students full access to all the High has to offer, enhances students’ art education, and functions as a teacher resource for integrating art into the curriculum.
