Cristo Rey Jesuit High School is a Catholic, independent, coeducational, college preparatory school for students from families of modest means in Baltimore. As a family, Cristo Rey Jesuit embraces a student body of Baltimore’s racial, religious and ethnic diversity.
Sponsored by the Maryland Province Jesuits, the school offers a strong academic and spiritual program integrated with a Corporate Internship Program in a safe, disciplined and nurturing environment. The goal of Cristo Rey Jesuit is to prepare students for higher education and for the workplace.
