Logo of Cristo Rey Network

The Cristo Rey Network comprises 32 high schools that provide Catholic, college preparatory education to urban young people who live in communities with limited educational opportunities. The schools utilize a Corporate Work Study Program to help cover tuition costs, at the same time giving students real-world job experience, greater self confidence, and an increased sense of the relevance of their education. This requires a longer school day and year.[1]
