Classical Education’s
Thriving Counterculture
Just before Christmas 2024, our school was blessed to host special visitor Mark Bauerlein, professor-emeritus of literature at Emory University and Senior Editor at First Things magazine. He spent a full day with us: attending our classes, lunching with our students, and praying with our whole community. He liked what he saw, which he wrote up in a beautiful profile for the journal Modern Age. Read his essay to learn why "there should be more schools like Cardinal Kung Academy," and consider reaching out to learn how you can partner with us to advance classical education in the Diocese of Bridgeport.
Two CKA Seniors to
Attend
West Point
Any high-school principal will tell you it’s a big deal when a graduating senior is accepted by the U.S. Military Academy. Getting two kids from the same high school in the same year into West Point is rare enough that in most American towns it would be front-page news. Two kids from the same high school in the same year out of a graduating class of fewer than two dozen? Stop the presses.
CKA Celebrates Saints
in Two Families!
As Catholics throughout the Diocese of Bridgeport celebrated All Saints Day on November 1st, the students and families of Cardinal Kung Academy had special reason to celebrate: two of the high school students have canonized relatives.
