Mission

King's Ridge Christian School is a Christian community providing a college preparatory education equipping students to know, to serve, and to believe.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provides a college prepatory education to children from kindergarten through 12th grade.

  • Founded in 2001, King's Ridge Christian School (KRCS) is an independent, non-denominational Christian school in north metro Atlanta. Our college-bound students are individually known for their unique gifts, talents, and learning styles. Students who are known are more encouraged in their academics and better understand how they can impact the world as they develop into self-directed learners, self-aware leaders, and self-confident servants.Students attend school on a 92-acre campus with separate facilities for Lower, Middle, and High Schools. The culture is one of trust and respect, with an expectation of integrity with an Honor Code, community service at every grade level, mission trips, and student leadership opportunities. We challenge our students through a rigorous honors program, Advanced Placement curriculum, and pedagogy rooted in a Christian focus. KRCS strives to develop the whole child - academically, physically, spiritually, socially, and ethically.AccreditationSouthern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS)CogniaCouncil on Educational Standards & Accountability (CESA)Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC)MembershipsNational Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC)Southern Association for College Admission Counseling (SACAC)Georgia Independent School Association (GISA)Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools (ACCIS)College BoardGeorgia High School Association (GHSA)Academic Graduation Requirements - 25 CreditsEnglish 4.0 Christian Education 3.5 Math 4.0 Fine Arts 1.0Science 4.0 Health/Nutrition 0.5Social Science 3.0 Physical Education 0.5World Language 3.0 Electives 1.5 Advanced Placement and Honors CoursesIn 2024, KRCS had (9th - 12th grade): - 30 AP Scholars - Granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams. - 12 AP Scholars with Honor - Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. - 32 AP Scholars with Distinction - Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.The Class of 2024 overall pass percentage on AP Exams was 84%.

  • CO-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIESThe KRCS co-curricular environment is a natural extension of the classroom. As a result, students gain skills through relevant and engaging activities. GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION - KRCS is a member of Georgia High School Association, participating in various sports and activities such as literary and One Act play competition with the goal of reaching state-level competition while honoring God by using the talents He provides. ATHLETICS - Athletic participation at KRCS includes varsity-level programs that build upon foundational rec-style teams, starting as early as kindergarten. KRCS strives to train athletes to compete at the highest level, ensuring that their opponents know they've been given a great game by the end of the contest. Student-athletes can participate in various sports (football, volleyball, cross country, softball, swimming, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, track & field, equestrian, lacrosse, wrestling, and soccer) across a 3-season schedule. When not actively competing, they commit to off-season conditioning and training through a custom-designed strength, conditioning, and agility program to fully prepare for future success. This dedication to preparation has led to an ever-increasing number of KRCS student-athletes being pursued by college-level programs.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
