The King's Christian School is a private religious school (grades Pre-K through 12) located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Founded as the 'Christian Day School of Camden County,' the school opened in 1946 at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Collingswood, New Jersey.

The King's Christian School is approved under the authority of the New Jersey Department of Education and is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and by the Association of Christian Schools International.

King's offers a fully integrated college preparatory curriculum with an evangelical Christian worldview and required Biblical education at all grade levels.

Not associated with any particular main-line Protestant denomination or church, King's is owned and operated by 'The Association of The King's Christian School,' a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors and made up of the parents and friends of the school.
