Christ the King is a Catholic Elementary School, located in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles. It is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic school and serves the local as well as the extended communities.
Christ the King School believes in educating the whole child-spiritually, academically, socially and physically. We provide a broad, well-balanced curriculum and our students perform very well in all educational areas.
We have been commended by the Archdiocese for our success and growth in the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) which our students take annually. Our graduates are accepted into the best recognized Catholic High Schools in and around Los Angeles, which include Immaculate Heart, Loyola, Marymount, Notre Dame Academy, Notre Dame High School and Providence. Our Junior High students participate in the Academic Decathlon, competing against more than one hundred schools in the Archdiocese. In this event, they placed among the top ten percent in Math, English, Literature, Science, Social Studies ans Logic over the past three years.
In addition to a wide range of academic subjects, we also teach Spanish, music, physical education and information technology to our students. We are actively involved in the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) and our students compete against a number of schools in the Archdiocese in a wide variety of sports including basketball, volleyball, football, track and field. Our students are also involved in a wide variety of service projects within our community. These include visits to the local Convalescent Home and collecting food and toys for distribution to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The full-time vice principal holds a Masters Degree in Catholic School Administration. All the teachers have Bachelors Degrees and the majority hold California teaching credentials.
