Welcome to Detroit Cristo Rey High School
Detroit will have a new coed Catholic high school in the fall of 2008. The school will provide high-quality college preparatory education to youth who would not otherwise be able to afford private school education.
Located at Vernor and Junction in the southwest area of the city, Detroit Cristo Rey High School will be under the leadership of the Basilian Fathers (St. Anne de Detroit Parish; Catholic Central High School, Novi, MI; and the former Holy Redeemer High School) and the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Marian High School, Bloomfield Hills, MI; and Marygrove College, Detroit).
Once the school opens, much of its funding will come from an innovative Corporate Work Study Program. The school will integrate classroom instruction with real-life work experience for each student by partnering with many of the finest businesses and corporations in the metropolitan Detroit area. These partnerships will allow the school to make a faith-based, student centered education available at a very affordable cost to its students.
