About us
King’s Academy Christian School has successfully operated since August 1999 and was supported by Christ the King Church (CTK). Under the dynamic leadership of Reverend John W. McVicker, Sr., Pastor of CTK, King’s Academy Christian School was founded. It was his vision to provide all children with an opportunity to receive the best education possible with a Christ-centered curriculum. Thus, Pastor McVicker gave the task of organizing the school to his wife, Mrs. Marilynn McVicker in 1998.

Our Core Values
We Practice What We Preach
Respect and Responsibility
At KACS, we treat every person as made in the image of God. We speak with kindness, act with integrity, and take ownership of our words and actions—because showing respect and taking responsibility go hand in hand.
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” — Matthew 7:12
Excellence
We pursue excellence in everything we do—academics, character, and faith. At KACS, excellence means giving our best, growing through feedback, and honoring God through our work.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” — Colossians 3:23
Teamwork
We believe we are stronger together. Teamwork at KACS means collaborating with love, supporting one another, and working as one body to fulfill our shared mission and vision.
“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 12:12
Servant Leadership
We lead by example, following the model of Jesus. Servant leadership at KACS means putting others first, listening well, and using our gifts to uplift and empower those around us.
“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” — Matthew 20:26
High Expectations
We believe every child was created with purpose and potential. At KACS, we set the bar high because we know our scholars can rise to it—with faith, effort, and support.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10
