School Mission: Christ the King Jesuit College Prep, a Catholic school on Chicago’s West Side and a member of the Cristo Rey Network, challenges and inspires its young people 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.

School Description: Christ the King Jesuit College Prep serves students in grades 9-12 through an innovative corporate internship program which allows students from families of limited financial means to earn up the majority 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 2026 marked our fifteenth consecutive class of 100% acceptance!

About the Role

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 people to lead lives of integrity, faith, and servant leadership for the greater glory of God.

Strong candidates for faculty positions are those who value community, and believe in the worth, merit, and limitless potential of each individual as a child of God. As such, they are student advocates who bring expert content-knowledge, compassion and enthusiasm to their work, helping our students to hone their God-given talents. Most importantly, they approach their work as a vocation, fully aware that their commitment to excellence is the catalyst for our student’s success.
