Cristo Rey Sacramento, rooted in the traditions of the Sisters of Mercy and the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), transforms lives by providing a Catholic, college preparatory education and professional work experience to high school students with limited financial resources.

Why Cristo Rey?: 

• Investment In Teacher and  Staff Development: At Cristo Rey Sacramento, we believe that a long-term investment in our teachers and staff is critical to providing an effective and rigorous curriculum for our students. Professional development provides an array of best practices, while allowing for a healthy balance between teacher autonomy and peer collaboration.

• Meaningful and Necessary Impact: Cristo Rey offers a Catholic, college-preparatory education to students from underserved communities. Our Cristo Rey faculty and staff have a transformational impact on the lives of our students, who in turn have a transformational impact in their own families and our communities.
