Founded in 1996, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School provides a Catholic, college preparatory education and professional work experience to students from Spanish‑speaking families across the southwest side of Chicago. To make Cristo Rey both sustainable and affordable to our families, Cristo Rey pioneered the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). Our unique and highly successful funding model inspired what is now a national network of Catholic high schools serving low‑income families across the country.

The CWSP enables our students to earn a majority of their annual cost of education by working on a school day a week at a corporation in the Chicago area. Learn more at  .
