WHO WE ARE
Cristo Rey Columbus prepares students to excel in college, in career, and in character. Our college-prep curriculum, work-study program, and faith-based education combine to give students a unique experience and an affordable option for high-quality education. Our school is grounded in the following characteristics, which shape the Cristo Rey Columbus experience for our faculty, students and families:
College-Prep Academics – All students take college preparatory coursework. Our teachers and support staff work to support students in achieving high academic standards, setting them up for success in college.
Work-Study Program – Our students work in a professional environment five days a month providing students with a professional mentor. This experience not only helps to fund students’ education, it provides them with an invaluable opportunity to engage in a professional environment.
Catholic Identity – At the heart of the Cristo Rey Columbus community is our faith in Jesus Christ, and a commitment to nurture the faith of all students. This all happens in an atmosphere of mutual respect and concern for all members of our Cristo Rey Columbus community – students, teachers, staff, and families.
Diverse Community – We value and are proud of our diversity. Over half of Cristo Rey Columbus students have at least one parent who was born outside of the United States. Cristo Rey families come from over 40 different countries including Africa, Asia, Central and South America.
