Cristo Rey Jesuit High School: Who We Are

Cristo Rey Jesuit High School is part of a national network of 41 high schools that transform urban education through a unique integration of college-prep academics, professional experience, and spiritual formation, with a focus on students of limited financial means. As a private, Catholic, Jesuit high school serving 450 students, Cristo Rey Jesuit's mission is to provide an affordable Catholic secondary education with a college-prep curriculum and a Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) to prepare graduates for success in college, work, and life.

The Cristo Rey team believes that a sound intellect is only one important component of preparation for college and life. Through both their CWSP experience and intentional opportunities for character and spiritual growth within the school day, Cristo Rey students develop the work ethic, resilience, confidence, empathy, openness to growth, and commitment to justice that help ensure their long-term success and enable them to lead by example.

Job Summary:

As part of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School's motivated and collaborative founding faculty, you will educate students in mind and spirit. Through engaging, data-driven instruction that effectively incorporates technology to enhance learning, you will ensure all students are academically prepared for college, reflective about their learning in both the classroom and the Corporate Work Study Program, and equipped with the habits of mind that undergird success. In the spirit of Ignatian pedagogy, you will create opportunities for students to act, reflect, and grow as they become men and women for others. Your relentlessness, zest, and commitment to excellence will help form a student body distinguished by breakthrough achievement gains, a passion for justice, and dexterity in the professional world. Your interpersonal intelligence, courage, and drive to find solutions will help establish a founding team that is high-functioning, vibrant, and grounded in a deep commitment to the school's bold mission. Ultimately, by giving generously of yourself, your gifts, and your time, you will build the foundation of a school that serves its students' diverse needs and cultivates their many talents.
