As a Cristo Rey school in the Dominican tradition, we are committed to providing both excellent education and meaningful corporate work study experiences to students of limited financial resources. What is the Cristo Rey Network? While limited access to quality education for all young people is eroding the American dream, the Cristo Rey Network provides a transformational educational experience to urban high school students who do not have access to quality schools. The nationwide network of 32 Catholic, college preparatory schools exclusively serving economically disadvantaged students is growing at a time when many public schools are struggling to produce excellent results. Graduates of Cristo Rey schools are enrolling in and completing college at twice the rate of their low-income peers.
