Cristo Rey Jesuit High School – Twin Cities believes that schools must be personalized with small class sizes, educating every student equally, one student at a time.
Cristo Rey students are active learners, inside and outside the classroom.
Each student’s learning plan grows out of his or her unique needs, interests, and passions, and is formed by drawing upon the best knowledge, tradition, and values of the Church and society.
Individual and connected
A Cristo Rey education depends on students and families being active participants in the design and authentic assessment of each student’s learning. The school is small enough to encourage the development of a community of learners, and to allow for each student to be known well by at least one adult. School staff and leaders must be visionaries and life-long learners themselves.
Cristo Rey connects its students and the school to the community – both by sending students out to learn from mentors in the real world, and by allowing the school itself to serve as an asset to the local community and its needs.
Cristo Rey is, in fact, designed to be a school where students “work to learn and learn to work.” An education at Cristo Rey will allow the possibility of post-secondary education to be a reality for every student, and will set its students up for admission and success at the post-secondary level. The school is dedicated to working closely with students, families, and post-secondary educational institutions throughout and beyond the application process. In other words, graduates of Cristo Rey will not only be college eligible, but college ready, upon graduation from high school.
