School Plan for Continuous Growth
2017-2020 Information Package
Christ has no body but yours, no hands, no feet on Earth but yours.
(St. Teresa of Avila)
May 2017 Page 1Christ the King School Plan for Continuous Growth 2017-2020
School Mission:
The mission of Christ The King school is to provide a Catholic Education that inspires students to learn,
love, lead and hope.
School Vision:
Inspiring minds and building leaders through Christ The King.
School Charism:
We shared with our students that charism, in general, denotes any good gift that flows from God’s love
to humans. Our students understand this to mean that Christ died for us, to save us and that we should
work to model kindness and participate in celebrations. At Christ the King, our school charism is kindness.
DATA: The district provided us a sampling of data from other schools in our area to assist us with our
goals. As well, we assessed our students using the Fountas and Pinnell Reading Benchmarks to arrive at a
reading goal.
Goals:
Goal 1: By June 2018, our students and staff will grow in their understanding of our Catholic identity
as expressed in Mark Two of “the Five Marks of Catholic School Identity."
