ABOUT CRISTO REY:

Cristo Rey in Milwaukee is the 29th school in a growing national network of Catholic high schools recognized for transforming urban education through a unique integration of rigorous academics, professional experience, and spiritual formation. For the 2025-26 school year, Cristo Rey Milwaukee will welcome a class of approximately 125 freshmen boys and girls of limited financial means. Cristo Rey’s innovative model calls for our students to attend class four days per week and work in a professional setting five days per month through our Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). Many of our students will enter high school below grade-level academically, and our staff’s collective mission is to ensure that our students gain admission to—and ultimately graduate from—college. In pursuit of that goal, Cristo Rey has a longer school day and an extended academic year, and our teachers innovate, plan, reflect, and practice to maximize their impact in the classroom.
