Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School is a private, independent, Catholic high school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for students of all faiths. The school has an innovative work-study model where each student works at a company in the Greater Philadelphia Area one day per week. It opened in 2012, becoming the 25th school in the larger Cristo Rey Network.
Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School is part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools.[1][5] 100% of Cristo Rey graduates have been accepted into four-year college, and 82% of graduates are persisting in college. The school will celebrate its first class of college graduates in the spring of 2020.[6] In 2019, the school moved to a new campus at 1717 W Allegheny Ave. The new building is approximately 100,000 square feet with state-of-the-art facilities, costing nearly $40 million.[7][8][9]
