Christ the King Academy classes begin

Sunday, August 24, 2008 — On Tuesday Christ the King Christian Academy in New London began its 10th year of providing an education with a Christian worldview to children of Stanly and surrounding counties.

As kindergartners filed in, found their desks and began coloring, first through fourth graders also became accustomed to their surroundings and the morning routines their teachers presented them.

On the other end of the hall the fifth graders were being welcomed to the upper school area. For all the fifth through twelfth graders the big questions were locker assignments and class schedules. Throughout the school were the sounds of friends being reunited and summer stories being swapped. Classes then began with the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer.

“We have a wonderful staff with a heart for ministry and academic excellence,” Principal John Kahl said.

“This year we are blessed with two new teachers, Mrs. Kristi Whitley and Mrs. Patty Barringer in addition to our other dedicated staff.”

Each grade starts off the day with Bible class. The high school class this year will be studying Christian apologetics in which the students learn how the Christian faith compares to other world religions and worldviews. Also a new offering for the 8th-12th grade is a computer class taught with a computer lab of mainly laptops, several of which have been purchased through the school’s S.P.I.R.I.T. organization.

“We are blessed to have this parent/teacher organization that works hard to make things possible that would otherwise not be feasible,” said Kahl.

“Because we want a Christian education to be as affordable as possible to whoever wants it our tuition covers the necessities and we need other funding opportunities to add some extras. That is where the SPIRIT organization helps out. Private donations are also welcomed and used for equipment or scholarships, etc.”

Christ the King is different from many other private schools in that they have a substantial multiple child discount and no extra fees.

“Another goal for the school this year and following years is to get an athletic program started. Therefore we are looking for volunteers to coach teams in various sports and for facilities so we can practice indoor sports such as basketball or volleyball,” Kahl said.

There are still openings throughout the school for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
