Cristo Rey Jesuit High School is aprivateRoman Catholichigh school located in thePhillips neighborhood ofMinneapolis, Minnesota, United States, in theRoman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. It was founded by theSociety of Jesus in 2007 and is one of over thirty-six high schools in the country which follow theCristo Rey work-study model of education for students from low-income families.[1]
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School opened in August 2007 and saw its first students graduate in 2011. It is part of theCristo Rey Network of high schools, the original beingCristo Rey Jesuit High School inChicago.[2] In October 2017, the school had 117 corporate partners who were ready to employ students through the Cristo Rey Work Study Program.[3]
Students make day-long retreats in the first three years and in their senior year they make a 3-day Kairos retreat.[4] Three days each week the entire school participates in the 5-minute daily examen practice,[5] which grew out ofIgnatian retreats.[6]
In order to graduate, students are required to complete at least 60 hours of volunteer service (lowered to 40 hours for students during theCOVID-19 pandemic), and one long-term or large-scale project. Service hours and project can be completed during school hours and outside of school.[7]
