Cristo Rey Jesuit High School: Founded in 1996 Cristo Rey Jesuit High School provides a Catholic college preparatory education and professional work experience to students from Spanish-speaking families across the southwest side of Chicago. To make Cristo Rey both sustainable and affordable to our families Cristo Rey pioneered the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). Our unique and highly successful funding model inspired what is now a national network of Catholic high schools serving low-income families across the country.
