Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School Requires Students To Earn Tuition

One of Atlanta’s newer high schools is unique for its student body and its work-study program. 

Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School is a private school that serves students from low-income households who are required to earn money at a school-sponsored job to help pay their tuition.

Cristo Rey Atlanta’s president Bill Garrett recently updated the school’s progress with WABE’s Steve Goss.

One of the 154 freshmen enrolled during Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School’s debut year is Camila Marin. She told WABE’s Steve Goss that she had attended another private school in Atlanta until her mother heard about Cristo Rey.
