All of our students become part of a team that expands beyond fellow classmates. Working with a local company teaches them responsibility, how an office setting functions, and the importance of working as a team. Real-world work experience means our students learn how to thrive not only in school but also in the world.
"Cristo Rey helped me understand that I could go to college and eventually reach my dream of becoming an attorney. Cristo Rey guided me by assigning me to work at law firms once a week and seeing what my future life could be like. Those experiences truly helped me with my resume for college and even helped me with my resume for law school."
- Angelika Arias, Assistant District Attorney for the State of New York
