Cristo Rey Columbus High School is a private high school in Columbus, Ohio. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus and follows the Cristo Rey work-study model of education for students from low-income families.[1]
Background
Cristo Rey Columbus was established in 2013 as a part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools. It is housed in a renovated building that was built in 1899 as the Ohio School for the Deaf.[2] The building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, underwent an $18 million restoration to accommodate the new school. Renovations included motion-sensor lights in all classrooms, wi-fi, and built-in projectors that connect to students’ tablets and display their work on whiteboards, all of which become smart boards.[3]
The school serves students from families of limited means.[4] Students work five days a month at entry-level jobs at four dozen businesses in the metro area.[5]
