History

Cristo Rey Atlanta opened in 2014 under the auspices of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in midtown Atlanta, in a three-story building that was formerly the chancery building for the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

As the demand for its services expanded, the school accepted the donation of a much larger, seven-story building in downtown Atlanta. [5] The new building was officially dedicated on January 30, 2018 [8] with Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Governor Nathan Deal attending the ceremony.

Corporate Work Study Program

The Corporate Work Study Program is the central focus of the school, paying for most of the student's tuition and giving valuable work experience. Students go to their job partner, with one student from each grade level going once a week on their designated work day, Tuesday to Friday. Job partners include Coca-Cola, [9] Emory University, [10] and Delta Air Lines.
