Burien, WALocal News

Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle is set to host its EXPO Night on March 20, 2025, providing an opportunity for families to explore its distinctive educational model aimed at students with limited economic resources. This private high school emphasizes a blend of rigorous academic preparation and essential work experience through its Corporate Work Study program, which partners with notable local businesses like Microsoft and Costco. These partnerships not only assist in covering tuition fees but also equip students with invaluable skills for their future careers. Remarkably, 100% of the Class of 2023 seniors were accepted into college, with graduates earning college degrees at twice the rate of their similarly situated peers. The school is committed to supporting its diverse student population, which is 98% comprised of young people of color, and ensures that every family receives financial assistance, keeping annual tuition at $2,500 or less.

Potential students and parents are encouraged to attend EXPO Night to learn more about the application process and the benefits of the Cristo Rey educational experience. The event will take place at the school’s campus in south Seattle, providing a welcoming environment for all interested families.
