In partnership with the Maryland Province Jesuits, the Cristo Rey Network, and the Baltimore business community, our school embraces low-income Baltimore families of racial, religious, and ethnic diversity. We nurture our students to be men and women in service to others through academic achievement, business experience, faith formation and civic leadership.

According to a recent survey, 100% of those companies would recommend participation in the program to another company. 100% of CRJ graduates have been accepted into college.
