Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School

Equip, Empower, Excel: Support a Student's Journey

At Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to excel—academically, professionally, and personally. Our rigorous academics, Jesuit values, and Corporate Work Study Program open doors for talented, driven young people who aspire to shape their futures and make a positive impact in the world.

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join our mission through "Equip, Empower, Excel: Support a Student's Journey." Each gift, whether large or small, helps us equip students with the tools they need—like uniforms, laptops, cameras for the yearbook club, and retreat experiences that deepen their faith and resilience. Your support empowers them to succeed in their studies and work placements, instilling confidence and ambition. 

Together, we can invest in their journeys, nurturing the growth of the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and change-makers. Let’s empower our students to excel.

Know that any amount you donate will impact our school community!

Our Vision
Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit is an apostolate of the Society of Jesus and one of 60 Jesuit high schools across the United States. Since 1548, Jesuit schools have formed students to become people of conscience, competence and compassion. The hallmark of Jesuit education is academic and personal excellence. The aim of Jesuit schools is the formation of men and women for others.

Students will graduate from Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit prepared to embark upon a journey of personal accountability, service to others and lifelong learning.

Our school utilizes a longer school day and year, structured academic assistance, and counseling support to prepare students for college. All students enrolled in the school participate in a unique Corporate Work Study Program through which they develop important skills and finance the majority of the cost of their education. The Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit Corporate Work Study Program provides students the opportunity to build core skills that will help them succeed in college and the modern workplace.
