As part of the Cristo Rey Network of schools, Detroit students journey toward becoming college graduates through one of the most exciting and innovative models of education in the country.
Detroit Cristo Rey High School students spend four days each week in the classroom, striving for academic excellence under the guidance of the many veteran educators on staff. Students study college-preparatory core requirements and regularly take advantage of extracurricular opportunities throughout Detroit.
The Corporate Work Study Program is the most distinctive feature of the Cristo Rey concept, complementing the school’s academic program with one day per week of real-life work experience in many of the finest businesses and organizations in metro Detroit. The Corporate Partners are a vital part of this unique academic approach, allowing the school to make a faith-based, student-centered education available at a very affordable cost while equipping the students for personal and professional success.
Located at Vernor and Junction on the Most Holy Redeemer campus, Detroit Cristo Rey High School is committed to providing a college-preparatory, co-educational, Catholic high school education in the city of Detroit. Visit the campus to experience the passion for excellence that distinguishes these students.
Detroit Cristo Rey High School provides excellent college-preparatory Catholic high school education, in the Cristo Rey Model, to students from economically disadvantaged families in Detroit.
The school emphasizes faith, morals and service to the community.
Through its work-study program, the school fosters skills and attitudes important in the workplace, such as responsibility, determination, respect for self and others.
In the finest tradition of Catholic outreach, we welcome families of all denominations.
With a challenging and supportive college preparatory program, we equip students with the core knowledge and competencies needed for college and the workplace.
Our ultimate goal is to enable students to gain the skills to be successful in life and the commitment to make a difference in their families, their neighborhoods, and the world.
