Dear Prospective Christ the King Student,

Are you one of the unusual few that we are looking for? We are looking for approximately 100 students who will be entering the ninth grade during the 2008-2009 school year who want to attend a Catholic, college-preparatory school and are motivated to work five days a month in a 'real job' at a business in the Newark area.

We are looking for young people with economic need who have a passionate desire to make the most of the gifts they've been given for their sake as well as for the sake of their parents, their families, and their community.

A profile for a Christ the King Prep student is one who is motivated, can work independently as well as with others, is willing to work hard, and is open to religious values and cultural differences. To begin the application process, please note the required documents that need to be completed.

For information on how to apply for admission to our 2008-2009 class at Christ the King Preparatory School, please contact me at 973-483-0033; pamrauscher@CTKPrep.org

Sincerely,

Dr. Pamela Rauscher
Director of Admissions
