COLLEGE READY. CAREER PREPARED.
The signature and differentiating component of Cristo Rey schools is the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). Our innovative educational model integrates rigorous academics with professional work experience. Students largely self-finance their Cristo Rey education from which they graduate with beyond-the-classroom evidence that they are college-ready and career-prepared. In turn, CWSP supports workforce development challenges by advancing diverse candidates with the social and technical skills to perform the jobs of our knowledge-based economy.
