Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle High School (CRJS) is a private, Jesuit high school located in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. It is part of the Cristo Rey Network, a network of work-study programs that aims to make Jesuit education accessible to low-income families.[1]
The school welcomed its inaugural class in August 2024. On the second day of school, students gathered for a "draft day" event at Seattle University in which each student learned their work-study placement.[2]
Corporate Work Study
Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle partners with Seattle-area corporations to provide each student with an entry-level, professional job. Students work five days each month to gain job skills, earn money for themselves, and offset the cost of their education.[3] Corporate partners include Amazon, Paccar, Microsoft, Twitch, T-Mobile, and Premera Blue Cross.[4]
