Catholic Schools Week is a time to celebrate the blessings of Catholic education. Along with the academic excellence that Philly Catholic schools provide, the affordability of the private education provided in the archdiocese of Philadelphia is another reason for prospective parents to take a look at how our school could be a good fit.

With 2023 fast approaching, it would be worthwhile to look at a few things Catholic high schools and elementary schools in Philadelphia have to be grateful for and why there’s every reason to be hopeful in pursuing a Catholic education for your child.

While public schools have been struggling to bounce back from over a year of virtual learning, Catholic schools have been gaining territory.

Americans aren’t used to thinking of Halloween as a religious holiday. With all the horror movies, the skulls and gory figurines on peoples’ lawns and the – well, spookiness – the Catholic roots of Halloween now generally lie six feet under people’s minds. This is precisely why it’s time to dig up these roots.

Schools across the nation reported that students fell behind due to distance learning during the COVID pandemic. Not so with Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Since October is the month of the rosary, it may be helpful to reflect on what this powerful prayer means for us and our families. How can the rosary help us grow in our relationship with our Blessed Mother? How can devotion to Mary help form students in and out of the classroom? Three themes come to mind: meditation, service and love.

As families are getting back into the school routine, many are taking a step back and reflecting on their goals for education and what hopes and challenges are facing them on their way

One big advantage of Catholic education, in addition to academic excellence and being committed to opening children's mind to truth, is that Catholic schools but the lives and examples of the Saints front and center in the classroom.

There are certain skills that prepare our students well for high school and beyond. Here are a few us Catholic educators are proud to nurture and develop in our students.

Wishing all Fathers a very special Father’s Day this Sunday!

The school year is coming to an end and report cards will be given out. Is your child getting everything he or she can from their current school? Maybe it is time to transfer to Christ the King. We offer small classes and a safe loving community rooted in faith. Tuition Assistance and Financial Aid available for most students.

Wishing all Mothers a very special Mother’s Day this Sunday.

 Our students at Christ the King School, a Catholic school in Northeast Philadelphia, have an understanding of the importance of the Marian devotions and will be participating throughout the month. ​​​​​​​

Happy Easter to our Christ the King school community! May this Easter bring light and peace to your lives as we rejoice and celebrate in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Through Saint Faustina, Jesus has requested for us to precede the Feast of Divine Mercy, also known as Divine Mercy Sunday, with a Novena.  We invite you to pray this Novena as a family this year.

Not only will these signs and symbols engage curiosity, they’re also all very accessible and can be found around the house or in the yard. These paired with the story telling of the Gospels make for a fruitful Holy Week experience for the entire family.

Christ the King Catholic School is proud of our commitment to our students and to the community in how we were able to open our doors to the students and stand as leaders in education during these trying times.

Head to Neshaminy Mall on Thursday, March 24th for dinner at UNO Pizzeria and a book fair at Barnes and Noble. The proceeds help our Catholic elementary school reach its annual fundraising goal.
