How do I apply?

Eighth graders are invited to apply online or with a paper application. Check out our how to video (en Español) for a guide to applying online. Students can begin to apply once they've received first quarter grades. Cristo Rey takes a holistic approach to the application process and considers a variety of factors for admission.

Each applicant is interviewed by two members of our staff and faculty in March. An interview helps us get to know the student and determine if Cristo Rey is the right fit for the student. Students are interviewed in Spanish to ensure they are proficient enough to handle our dual language program. We also look for at maturity level and their ability to converse with adults.

Accepted students should register online to accept their spot in our Freshmen class by April 30, 2021. Incoming Freshmen and their parents are required to attend a mandatory orientation. All incoming Freshmen are also required to attend the mandatory Summer Business Training.
