[edit] 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.
[edit] King's West
In 1991 King's Schools acquired Bremerton Christian Schools, adding a Bremerton campus. King's West opened as a K-12 school in September of the same year.
[edit] High School Athletics
King's High School competes at the 1A Classification level in Washington State. This classification is made up of schools with between 188-467 students in Grades 10-12. In 2005, Sports Illustrated gave King's the title of 'Best Sports School in Washington State'.
