Academics
The Cristo Rey Jesuit Experience
Our educational model brings together several key components: a rigorous college and career ready academic program, corporate work experience, and Jesuit faith formation.
Rigorous Studies
As a Jesuit, Catholic, college-preparatory high school, we provide four years of rigorous academic study. We believe that having a growth mindset and making a commitment to lifelong learning are keys to the success of every student.
Professional Work Experience
Cristo Rey Jesuit is a place where learning gets to work. Our Corporate Internship Program supplements student’s classroom education with real-world work experience. Students complete year-long internships at prestigious law firms, hospitals, financial institutions, universities, local museums, and other organizations.
Preparing for College
100% of Cristo Rey Jesuit students have applied and earned acceptance to college. We offer personalized college and career counseling beginning in a student’s freshman year.
Ministry & Service
Through programming for spiritual life, justice work, and Ignatian education, students at Cristo Rey Jesuit are invited to embrace the Jesuit value of finding God in all things. Students are committed to service and justice, and every one completes a minimum of 40 hours of service before graduation.
Graduates at Graduation
As a Jesuit, Catholic, college preparatory high school, we are committed to the excellence of our broad-based program of academics, co-curriculars and spiritual formation.
