Founded by the Jesuits in 1996, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School is a neighborhood Catholic school with the mission of offering the best college preparatory, dual-language, Catholic education available to the youth of the Pilsen/Little Village community of Chicago, for whom other private schools are not a financial option.

Cristo Rey is able to offer this type of education because of its most innovative component: the Corporate Internship Program (CIP). Through this work-study program, all students work five days a month in entry-level jobs in Chicago firms to fund 65% of the cost of their education. While initially serving as simply a financial proposition to pay the operational costs of the school, the CIP has evolved into a progressive means of providing students with valuable work experience, while simultaneously empowering them to take an active part in financing a major portion of their private high school education.

The school serves approximately 530 students and accepts applications every year through February 1^st.
