1st Grade

Come and see why 1st grade at CTK is so amazing! Kids in small learning groups get individual attention. Gatherings at the “sacred space” focus on prayer and worship. Celebrations, processions and unique activities reinforce key doctrines and encourage following Jesus as a disciple. Foundational scope of salvation history prepares your child for sacramental prep in second grade.

2nd Grade

Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist takes place in 2nd grade at Christ the King. We offer a variety of options for preparation. Visit the Youth Sacraments page for more information on the possible ways to prepare your children for this important year.

3rd Grade

Third graders are launched into an exciting 2-year study of Sacred Scripture. Beginning with Creation in the Book of Genesis students learn to see the big picture of God’s plan of salvation and claim their place in His Story. All the major covenants, patriarchs and prophets are placed into the story as the children create their very own Bible Timelines.

4th Grade

Fourth graders dive back into Salvation History by studying the life of Jesus Christ and the worldwide spread of the Gospel. Students learn to love Scripture and understand the story line of God’s plan woven throughout. They create their own Bible Timeline and spend an extensive time in the Gospels looking at the events of the Paschal Mystery. This year completes the two-year program of Scripture study that begins in 3rd grade.

5th Grade

The goal of the 5th grade is for students to experience a personal encounter with Christ as they explore the foundational doctrines of our Faith as proclaimed in the Nicene Creed. They begin with what it means to believe, get better acquainted with the Holy Trinity and deepen their familiarity with Jesus Christ, Incarnate Son of God, delve into the Paschal Mystery and much more.

6th Grade

The goal of the 6th grade is for students to experience a personal encounter with Christ as they explore a deeper understanding of the Mass and the Commandments. The year begins with the Father’s desire that we partake of his Divine Nature, followed by a Bible study on John 6. Other lessons look at the Mass as Sacred Banquet, Sacrifice, Memorial, Liturgy, and the Eucharist as the source and summit of our Faith. The second half of the year focuses on conscience formation with an in-depth study of the Commandments.
