King's Schools

Private Christian school in Shoreline · grades PK–12 · 1,229 K-12 students plus 104 preschoolers (WA SBE, 2024-25) · non-denominational evangelical day school operated by CRISTA Ministries.

The verdict

King's is what a conservative evangelical school looks like with big-institution infrastructure behind it. The evidence is concrete: a 56-acre campus shared with its $93.8 million parent ministry, a claimed 57 state championships in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) 1A classification, and a robotics team that once finished second at the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) world championship. The fine print sits in three places. First, the price is indexed, not fixed. High school runs anywhere from $14,690 to $26,700 for 2026-27 depending on a third-party audit of your family finances, and no award ever exceeds 45% of tuition, so a fully subsidized seat does not exist here. Second, the gate is doctrinal before it is academic. Every family signs on to CRISTA's statement of faith, and the 2019 enforcement of that orthodoxy cost the school teachers and families in a very public way. Third, ultimate authority runs through CRISTA's board and CEO, not a parent-elected school board. Committed evangelical families get unusual value for the money; progressive, non-religious, or loosely churched families should read the culture section below as the entire decision.

Researched 2026-07-04. Citations and claim ledger included in the full dossier.

That is the free excerpt. The full dossier covers what the school's own marketing won't: admissions mechanics and real selectivity, all-in cost and aid behavior, matriculation depth, culture and fit signals, institutional health, every claim cited and dated.

The real comparison is against your public options.

Tuition here runs five figures a year, the question is what it buys over the public schools your address already gives you. A $29 Research Pass unlocks score trends, peer percentiles, competition evidence, gifted-pathway detail, and PTA capacity on every public school in the region, plus 3 full research dossiers for the schools on your shortlist.
