Christ the King Elementary School

Whitehorse, YT

At Christ the King Elementary School, we believe that school is an important part of a growing child’s life. We want children to be happy, to be challenged, to develop their potential for learning, to do their best work, and to feel a sense of achievement. We also want children to be respectful and to accept responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. This can only be accomplished when all of us work together for the sake of our children.
The school is a partner with parents and guardians in the education of children. We share the responsibility of providing the best educational opportunities for our students. Our challenge is to help students become life-long learners. We do this by creating a learning environment where respect, understanding, security, risk-taking, responsibility and reaching out are important values. We believe that each child is unique and special. The values we teach are based on a Catholic philosophy of education. We promote a strong personal relationship with God and respect for the dignity and innate goodness of every person.
