The school's mission is "to educate young people of limited economic means to become men and women of faith, purpose, and service who are prepared for life”[2]. To be admitted, students must meet financial need guidelines[3].

Corporate Work Study Program
The signature and differentiating component of Cristo Rey San Diego High School is the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). In the program, students work five days each month at entry-level, professional jobs all four years of high school.

Through this, students receive a private, college preparatory education, while gaining invaluable real-world work experience from leading corporations and nonprofit organizations in the San Diego area[8]. The Cristo Rey Corporate Work Study Program has been praised for allowing students to gain real-world work experience across many different professional fields, and has been shown to have a significant formative impact on students – demystifying the world outside their neighborhoods; developing workplace readiness skills; introducing them to role models and supportive mentors; and building competence, confidence and aspiration for college and career success[9].
