However, you do not need to be Catholic to attend Christ the King Catholic School. Families of all faiths are welcome in our school community. Call 215-632-1375 for more information.
Is there financial aid available?
Financial aid is available to families at Christ the King Catholic elementary school that qualify. Be sure to fill out an application through FACTS, which will help determine your eligibility for funds available through EITC and OSTC funds. Everyone who is verified by FACTS receives some type of funding (at least $205).
We have $1000 Transfer Grants for new students coming to our Second through Seventh Grades from non-Catholic schools. That grant is carried over for a second year at $500. We also have one year $1000 Welcome Grants for all incoming Kindergarten students for the 2022-2023 school year.
We also have the TuitionCares Program here at our school. All our families from K-8 received a tuition credit of $150 because of our participation in this program. Ask us how easy it is to register and participate in it.
