Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School, a college preparatory, Catholic school for students of all faiths, nurtures and challenges young people to recognize and realize their full potential as they learn to love others, grow in their faiths, and serve the common good.The school welcomed its first class in August 2012 and now serves approximately 547 freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior students. For seven years, Cristo Rey was located in the Logan neighborhood of North Philadelphia. At the start of the 2019 school year Cristo Rey moved to a brand-new home in the Alleghany section of the city, remaining committed to serving students from underrepresented communities across the greater Philadelphia and Camden areas. The school utilizes a longer school day and year, structured academic assistance, and counseling support to prepare students, who start out between two and three grade levels behind academically, for college. The faculty's collective goal for every student is not simply high school graduation or college acceptance but college graduation.All students enrolled in the school participate in a unique corporate Work-Study Program through which they develop important skills and finance the majority of the cost of their education. The Cristo Rey Work-Study Program gives students the opportunity to build core skills that will help them succeed in college and the modern workplace. Each student works five full days per month in an entry-level job in a professional work environment. The money earned through the students' work goes directly to the school to cover a significant portion of the cost of their education. Cristo Rey Philadelphia is the 25th school in the national Cristo Rey Network. Network schools have established a tremendous record of success preparing students for success in college and in life.
