Detroit Cristo Rey opened in 2008 with a simple goal of preparing our students to graduate from college. As we enter our thirteenth year, the goal remains unchanged. I am happy to share that our graduates are entering and graduating from college at three times the national average! Our alumni currently study at Yale, Dartmouth, Michigan, Michigan State and many other outstanding schools. They have already earned degrees from Notre Dame, Loyola, Michigan, Michigan State, Howard and Wayne State to name a few.

We are proud to be part of the Cristo Rey Network, one of 37 schools utilizing one of the most exciting and innovative models of education in the country.

Detroit Cristo Rey High School students spend four days each week in the classroom, striving for academic excellence under the guidance of the many veteran educators on staff. Students study college-preparatory core requirements and regularly take advantage of extracurricular opportunities throughout Detroit.

The Corporate Work Study Program is the most distinctive feature of the Cristo Rey concept, complementing the school’s academic program with one day per week of real-life work experience in many of the finest businesses and organizations in metro Detroit. The Corporate Partners are a vital part of this unique academic approach, allowing the school to make a faith-based, student-centered education available at a very affordable cost while equipping the students for personal and professional success.

Located at the corner of Vernor and Junction on the Most Holy Redeemer campus, Detroit Cristo Rey High School is sponsored by the Basilian Fathers and the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and is committed to providing a college-preparatory, co-educational, Catholic high school education in the city of Detroit.
