Admission Requirements

Junior students preparing for class

Admission Requirements:

  1. Income limits: since Cristo Rey Jesuit High School exists to serve under-resourced families who normally would not be able to afford private high school for their children, there are income limits based on the number of persons in a household. 
    To determine if your family qualifies for admission, multiply the number of persons in your household by $15,783. For example, a family of four can earn up to $63,132 and still qualify for admission to Cristo Rey Jesuit HS.  
  2. Legal work status: each student must have legal work status in the United States in order to attend Cristo Rey Jesuit HS and work in the Hire4Ed Work-Study Program.
  3. Age: students must be born before September 1, 1998 to attend Cristo Rey Jesuit HS as they must be 14 years old to participate in the Hire4Ed Work-Study Program.
