Christ the King School

What Christ the King School does

Christ the King School is a nonprofit, private Catholic school located at 3105 Belmont Boulevard in Nashville, Tennessee, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. Founded around 1940 and operating for more than 80 years, the school delivers a co-located, faith-integrated curriculum combining core academics (language arts, math, science, social studies), Spanish beginning in Pre-K, religion, service learning, fine arts, technology/robotics, and physical education, with extracurriculars in forensics, athletics, drama, and scouts. It is governed as an independent nonprofit affiliated with Christ the King Catholic Church and the Diocese of Nashville, with parent governance via a School Council and Home and School Association.

The school runs on commodity education-software infrastructure: the FACTS/RenWeb Student Information System (district code cks-tn, implemented for the 2019-2020 academic year) centralizes student records and family communications; FACTS Tuition Management handles billing and financial-aid need assessment; and EZSchoolApps powers online lunch pre-ordering for the Raider Cafe, which is operated by partner St. Charles Catering. Aftercare is delivered on-campus by partner Grow Academy, an alumni-owned child-care provider, and uniforms are sourced through Max and Alice Uniforms.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition, supplemented by an Annual Fund campaign ending June 30, the annual A Crown Affair gala (scheduled for March 7, 2026) targeting Art & Music Scholarships, cafeteria meal sales ($5.25 pre-ordered, $5.75 day-of), and Spirit Store merchandise. Distribution is direct, campus-based enrollment via the Belmont Boulevard site, with referral flow from Christ the King, St. Vincent De Paul, and Our Lady of Guadalupe parishes and admissions processing handled in RenWeb. Financial figures are not publicly disclosed.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Father Ryan High School: Primary Catholic high-school destination for CKS graduates; comparable in faith-based mission and Nashville Diocese affiliation, but operates at the secondary level rather than K-8.
• University School of Nashville: Independent Nashville PreK-12 school serving academically focused families in the same geographic market, offering comparable non-faith-based private education.
• St. Cecilia Academy: Catholic high school in Nashville that regularly admits CKS graduates; provides a higher-grade benchmark for outcomes and feeder-school dynamics.
• Montgomery Bell Academy: Established Nashville private boys' school competing for the same premium private-school family segment, relevant for pricing-power and outcome benchmarking.

Others

• FACTS (Lumen/FACTS Management): Technology vendor that provides the SIS, tuition management, and financial-aid assessment infrastructure used by Christ the King and most Nashville Diocese schools — a key ecosystem enabler rather than a competitor.

Direct peers

• St. Edward School: Nashville-based Catholic K-8 school serving similar families in the Diocese of Nashville with comparable PreK-8 offerings, faith-based curriculum, and feeder alignment with Father Ryan High School.
• St. Joseph School: Another Catholic K-8 school within the Nashville Diocese, providing a direct comparison for parish-affiliated enrollment, tuition pricing, and academic-outcome competition.
• Harding Academy: Independent Nashville PreK-8 school competing for the same academically oriented, tuition-paying families in the same metropolitan market, though without the Catholic affiliation.
• Overbrook School: Nashville-area Catholic K-8 school operating under the same Diocese of Nashville governance, with comparable faith-based programming and feeder pathways to Father Ryan High School.
• Curé of Ars Catholic School: Catholic K-8 school with a similar faith-development-plus-rigor value proposition, useful as a comparable for outcomes-driven parish-school positioning.
