Our high school provides an affordable, college-prep education to urban students, who fund a portion of their education through our work-study program.
Cristo Rey has an amazing model that has worked in 24 other high schools to bring a high quality, Catholic, college preparatory education to economically challenged students of all religious backgrounds. Cristo Rey Columbus will create an academically rigorous program, and give our students the tools to succeed in high school and college. The Professional Work-study program will provide our students the opportunity to pay for most of their education. It will allow them to experience professional job settings they would never have had a chance to be part of. Through those jobs, our students will learn first-hand the value of the education they are receiving and the importance of obtaining a college degree. We will make “learning to work and working to learn” a reality in Columbus starting August, 2013.
Cristo Rey Columbus High School will provide a Catholic, college-preparatory education to economically challenged and young people in urban Columbus of all faith denominations.
