Cristo Rey embraces the spirit of “community” not only within the walls of the school but by reaching outside of them also, where real-world participation encourages open dialogue with the general public.
A part of the whole
Students are able to feel a sense of community with their classmates through their shared dedication toward spiritual, intellectual, and emotional development, and they are also able to recognize how they are a part of the larger society.
- As part of the Cristo Rey Network, students are rooted in a nation-wide community of individuals who are committed to a values-centered education in the Jesuit tradition.
- As participants in the Hire4Ed program, students become members of the local business community, gaining valuable work experience while making a real difference in the workplace.
- In association with Urban Ventures Leadership Foundation, students are able to actively participate in their surroundings, acting as role models and leaders working to revitalize their neighborhood community.
- By whole-heartedly embracing their education, students also become a part of the community created by the local and national businesses and individuals who contribute to the support of the school.
