Curriculum & Biliteracy
All students take a rigorous college preparatory curriculum rooted in the liberal arts. The program requires four years of English, Mathematics, Religion and Spanish, along with three years of Science and Social Studies. Cristo Rey Jesuit does not rank students.
Cristo Rey Jesuit’s distinct dual-language program promotes proficiency in both Spanish and English. By design, 30% of coursework is taught entirely in Spanish, while the remaining 70% is taught in English. In English, seniors may take AP English Language and Composition or British Literature.
In Spanish, seniors may take AP Spanish Literature and Culture or
Spanish 4: Hispanic American Literature and Culture.
From the Class of 2025, 113 of 134 students earned the Global Seal of Biliteracy, demonstrating advanced proficiency in both languages.
All students are required to take the AP Spanish Language and Culture exam. During the 2024–2025 school year, 95% of sophomore and junior test-takers scored a 3 or higher on this exam.
