King's Schools is a private Christian school, Preschool through 12th grade, located in North Seattle, Washington. 98% of the graduates of King's High School go on to higher education.

History

King's was founded in 1950 by Mike and Vivian Martin. Originally called "King's Garden", the school's roots were in weekly Bible studies and fellowship meetings in the Martin's home.

King's Garden quickly became more than a school, growing into a family of ministries that operated three Christian radio stations, a printing press, a missionary letter-writing service, and a senior living home for senior citizens.

In 1979 the name was changed to CRISTA Ministries and the schools became King's Schools.
