MISSION The Cristo Rey Network® empowers thousands of students from underserved, low-income communities to develop their minds and hearts to become lifelong contributors to society. By providing students an extraordinary college preparatory education and a unique four-year, integrated corporate work study experience, we seek to transform urban America one student at a time.
ABOUT While Cristo Rey® schools are locally owned and operated, the Cristo Rey Network national office protects the integrity of the movement and advances school excellence and innovation by • Surfacing, scaling, and standardizing effective practices across all schools through professional development offerings, group convenings, and school-specific consultation in academics, college enrollment and completion, Corporate Work Study Program, performance measurement, and governance; • Facilitating new school growth through development and implementation of a national growth plan and support for new schools; • Supporting mission accountability—as defined by the Mission Effectiveness Standards—through school evaluations and data analysis; and • Stewarding national branding, visibility, and fundraising.
