We’re helping to ‘break the cycle of poverty’ in Detroit, by offering a college-prep education to low-income, center-city students, with no educational alternatives. To accomplish this, we use a unique work-study model whereby the kids work one day/week at a corporate job and study four extended days in a rigorous academic environment. We are part of the national Cristo Rey network, where this educational model is successfully used in 23 other schools around the country. Across the network last year, 96% of seniors graduated and were accepted to college. We’d like to invite you to come down to our school so we can show you first-hand how this model is working in Detroit!
