DID YOU KNOW ...
Oftentimes, families will say private education is too expensive for them. While private Christian education at CTK is certainly an investment, there are scholarships and tuition assistance funds available for families. During the 2023-24 school year, students in CTK grades K - 8 have received over $900,000 in taxpayer-funded scholarships and CTK tuition assistance awards.
Please see Mr. Brown or Mrs. Radikopf if you would like more information about any of the scholarship opportunities listed below.
