The students are engaged in their learning and responsive to their teachers. The faculty and staff are friendly and always have something to say. During my visits I am always treated with respect and I feel like an equal. The atmosphere of the school is caring and concerned with a real sense of a community. The community at Christ the King is not solely formed from students and staff, but parents play an important role as well.
Parents are always visible around the school.
They provide services for the school including playground monitors, lunch aids, field trip helpers or teacher's assistants. While I was observing on a particular day the children were putting on a play and several of the parents took time out of their workday to come and attend the performance. At many schools it is difficult to even get parents to come to parent-teacher conferences. The parents are involved and supportive allowing the school to operate a little smoother with less stress for the teachers. The children fully engage themselves in the material.
