The Cristo Rey Difference

We are a Catholic, coed, high school located in Santa Ana, CA. Our mission is to provide a college preparatory education to students who otherwise couldn't afford a Catholic education. We do this through a very generous scholarship program and  our innovative Corporate Work Study program.

Cristo Rey Orange County provides students access to a top-quality Catholic education, four years of professional work experience, and a proven path to college. Cristo Rey students work five days a month at top Orange County companies. This hands-on experience brings classroom education together with real world experience, giving students an educational experience unlike any other. We are the ONLY school in the area offering this opportunity.

The Cristo Rey Orange County Athletics program provides students with opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, and character through competitive sports. Our student-athletes balance rigorous academics and Corporate Work Study responsibilities while participating in CIF Southern Section competitions, demonstrating exceptional dedication both on and off the field. Learn more here.

Imagine a high school where students don't just prepare for the professional world – they're already part of it. At Cristo Rey, our Corporate Work Study Program turns this vision into reality. Each of our students spends five days per month earning their education in the offices of Orange County's leading companies, developing real-world skills that can't be taught from a textbook.  This innovative approach does more than help fund their education – it opens doors, builds confidence, and transforms teenagers into young professionals. Our students don't just dream about their future careers; they're already building them, one workday at a time.
