Cristo Rey Columbus High School is a private high school in Columbus, Ohio. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus.

Background

Cristo Rey Columbus was established in 2013 as a part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools. It is housed in a completely renovated building that was built in 1899 as Ohio School for the Deaf.[1] The building, that is on the National Register of Historic Places, underwent a major, $18 million restoral to accommodate the new school. Renovations include motion-sensor lights in all classrooms as well as Wi-Fi and built-in projectors that connect to students’ tablets and display their work on whiteboards, all of which become smart boards.[2]

The work-study model employed originated in 1996 with Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago. There are now three schools in metro Chicago that follow this model and 29 across the country. The schools cater to students from families of slender means who give promise of making the most of their educational opportunity.[3] Students work five days a month at entry-level jobs at four dozen businesses in the metro area.[4]
