challenges and inspires its young women and men through the integration of academics, work experience, and
extracurricular activities to lead lives of integrity, faith, and servant leadership for the greater glory of God.
We serve students in grades 9-12, through an innovative corporate internship program which allows students from
families of limited financial means to earn up to three-quarters of their tuition costs through jobs in professional
settings. Christ the King prepares each and every student for college through our rigorous college preparatory
curriculum and Corporate Work Study Program. We are proud that each year, every Christ the King graduate is accepted
to college. The Class of 2023 marks our twelfth consecutive class of 100% acceptance! Not only have all of our
graduates been accepted to college, but 94% have enrolled in college after graduation.
Summary: At Christ the King, we deliver rigorous, college prep instruction to our students in accordance with the Cristo
Rey Network and College Readiness Standards. At the center of our philosophy is cura personalis, or care for the whole
person. We foster a student-centered environment, and support all learners toward attaining mastery of critical skills
and content to ensure college and career success. We model the Grad at Grad principles to develop learners who are
Intellectually Competent, Open to Growth, Loving, Religious, Committed to Justice, and Experienced Workers. With
Christ as our foundation and example, we strive to inspire our young women and men to lead lives of integrity, faith, and
servant leadership for the greater glory of God.
