A SCHOOL THAT WORKS
Cristo Rey Jesuit graduates will be open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, work experienced and committed to doing justice. They will become leaders committed to a lifelong pursuit of learning, faith and justice.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School uses an innovative work-study program to provide a comprehensive affordable, Catholic education to students who come from families with limited financial means. All students work five full days per month at companies across the greater Milwaukee area. Through our innovative program, students gain confidence, connect the relevance of their academic coursework to future employment, acquire skills that will benefit their career, and receive unprecedented access to the professional world.
We believe in our students and educate them to become servant leaders or “men and women for others.” Cristo Rey Jesuit students are provided the opportunity to develop their faith in God and recognize how they can utilize their unique God-given talents to create a more just and loving world. Students are challenged to become leaders by the high standard of excellence we strive for in the classroom and beyond.
100%
of Cristo Rey Jesuit graduates are accepted to college. The Class of 2024 was the 6th consecutive class to have every member be accepted into a four-year college or university and most will be the first generation in their families to attend college. Collectively, the class earned more than $21 million in institutional scholarships and grants toward their college education.

Corporate Work Study Program
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School’s innovative Corporate Work Study Program helps students gain valuable experience working in a business environment as well as develop relationships in the professional community and acquire new skills and exposure to the range of career opportunities available after graduation.
Faith and Service
Our goal is to build a community of faith that engages students in several opportunities for faith development. Nurturing our students’ spiritual formation in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition is core to our school’s mission and one part of what it means to practice cura personalis, or care for the whole person.
