Principal’s Welcome

Dear Families,

Welcome to our close-knit, dynamic learning community!

At Christ the King School we are committed to the success of each child.  Our Catholic parish school has been rooted in the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, since its founding in 1940.  Today our teaching philosophy continues to be guided by their core values of Spirituality, Community, Service and Social Justice. 

Our dedicated faculty focuses on:

• Academics– reading, writing, math and science; French, physical education, music and art classes offered to all grades
• Spirituality– weekly school-wide Mass; scripture and catechism in religion classes
• Social-emotional growth– promoting a sense of belonging; learning to interact positively with others; nurturing mental health, happiness and safety
• Child-centered activities– sensory exploration; cooperative learning; presentation skills; lab work
• Creativity– our maker-space provides opportunities to experiment with designs, gears, tools and construction materials; drawing and painting art; school-wide concerts
• Technology– integrating STEM curriculum through coding, robotics, laser cutting and 3D printing; chromebook program for all middle school students
• Environment– student-led recycling and composting program; research in science classes; community garden
• Leadership– student council; public speaking; student mentors 
• Service– school-wide community service day

We educate students from 25 different towns in Vermont! 

Our diverse student body is comprised of children from many faiths and family backgrounds. 

Each school day Christ the King School celebrates our mission statement: 

“to provide an excellent education in a Catholic community of love and care, to foster respect for self and others; and to nourish a life-long devotion to God and the teachings of Jesus Christ”

This mission is not only stated and heard, but more importantly is lived out in our interactions with fellow students, faculty, our families and all whom we meet.

I encourage you to explore Christ the King School’s website and contact us anytime to visit and learn more about our school!

Sincerely,

Ms. Kelley Alderman
Principal
