Admissions Information

Admission to Christ the King School or participation in school programs is not denied to students on the basis of race, color, ethnic or national origin. Admission will not be denied because of any handicapping condition unless it is clear that the staff, due to inadequate professional training, and/or the school’s program will not be able to meet the student’s needs.

Admission to Christ the King School will be determined by the principal after consideration of the following:

  • Christ the King School Placement Test Information regarding academic development.
  • Academic, developmental, behavioral and/or psychological information from previous schools as evidenced by records and/or communication.
  •  

    Every effort will be made to admit students that have a reasonable chance to perform as successful students at Christ the King School.

    Admission of new students to Christ the King School is determined by the following factors in order of priority:

  • Sibling(s) currently enrolled at CKS
  • Children of CKS faculty members
  • Parishioner living within stated boundaries set by the Diocese of Lexington
  • Parishioner living outside stated boundaries set by the Diocese of Lexington
  • Other Catholics
  • Non-Catholics
  • Catholic Parishioner Status

    According to Catholic thought and tradition, it is through baptism that one is incorporated into the Roman Catholic Church. Therefore, it is expected that a parishioner of the Cathedral of Christ the King should meet the following:

  • Child is a Baptized Roman Catholic
  • Attends Sunday Mass on a regular basis at Christ the King
  • Completed a parish registration form
  • Completed a Time and Talent Stewardship form
  • Developmental readiness assessment will be required for all kindergarten students.

    Non-Catholic applicants must be willing to participate in religion classes and attend liturgy, since this is an integral part of the life of Christ the King School.

    In all cases the administration reserves the right to make the final decisions on admissions, consistent with the above policy.
