Cristo Rey San José Jesuit High School & Corporate Work Study Program

Cristo Rey San José is a Jesuit, Catholic high school that empowers students from underserved communities in San José to be people for others who are prepared spiritually, academically, and professionally to complete college, and who will become accomplished leaders committed to a lifelong pursuit of learning, faith, and justice. What Makes Us Different: The Cristo Rey Work Study Program: Every Cristo Rey student works one day each week in professional, administrative roles at partner organizations. In turn, the revenue they generate funds up to 50% of their tuition! Students receive professional training at school and are prepared to contribute at their workplace on day one. Current partners include CIsco, CBRE, Kaiser Permanente, and Hensel Phelps, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and 90+ more. Cutting Edge Learning: Cristo Rey San Jose's academic model uses cutting edge technology to adapt to individual student needs. Each student is given a Chromebook computer to aid instruction and use for online portals for their classes. Blended learning programs take over a lot of the remedial instruction allowing teachers to focus on critical thinking. Who We Serve: We are the first and only high school in Silicon Valley whose enrollment is limited to students from families at-or-below the poverty. We are committed to empowering underserved youth from our community to work, learn, lead and succeed!
