Founded as the
Christian Day School of Camden County, the school opened in 1946 at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in the
West Collingswood section of
Haddon Township. In its early years, the school also met in rooms at Mt. Calvary Union Church in
Runnemede,
Moorestown Public School,
Haddon Heights Baptist Church (1948), Fairview Community Baptist Church in
Camden (1949), and Crescent Park Orthodox Presbyterian Church in
Bellmawr (1950). In 1951, the school moved to a historic mansion at 800 West King's Highway,
Haddon Heights. Adjacent to the mansion, a purpose-built modern school building for grades K-8 opened in 1970, bearing the name
Christian School of Camden County (CSCC). This building now houses the
Brookfield Schools elementary school. In 1974, CSCC opened another elementary school campus at Easton Union Church in
Hainesport Township in neighboring
Burlington County, which operated until 1992. In 1980, the school achieved ACSI and MSACS accreditation. Having grown to attract students from well beyond Camden County, CSCC surveyed its students and their families and chose as its new name '''The King's Christian School'''. In 1983, King's rented the former Barclay Elementary School in the
Barclay Farm neighborhood of Cherry Hill for use as a Junior High and High School, housing grades 7-12. The
Cherry Hill Public Schools now operate this site as the Estelle V. Malberg Early Childhood Center. Before moving to its current campus, King's high school was temporarily housed at the
Sacred Heart School,
Mount Ephraim, between 1999 and 2003. ==Notable alumni==
