Providence Cristo Rey High School

Located minutes from downtown Indianapolis, Providence Cristo Rey High School (PCRHS) is a private, college-preparatory high school for students from families with limited financial means. PCRHS combines rigorous classroom instruction with real-life corporate work study experiences for our students by partnering with the finest businesses and corporations in the Indianapolis area. Our Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) allows PCRHS to make a faith-based, college preparatory education affordable to all students and families who could not otherwise afford a Catholic education. Students spend one day a week at their CWSP job site gaining valuable job experience and earning a portion of their high school tuition as they prepare for college. The CWSP partners contract to fill one full-time entry level job in their office for less than the cost of employing a single full-time worker or contractor. Moreover, they tell us that a student team adds fresh energy, enthusiasm, diversity and productivity to their business. Sponsored by the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, IN, PCRHS is one of 35 schools nationwide that are members of the Cristo Rey Network. Since the opening of the school, Providence Cristo Rey seniors have achieved 100% college acceptance. Graduates currently attend and have graduated from schools such as: Georgetown University, Indiana University, Purdue University, Ball State University, University of Notre Dame, Franklin College, Indiana State University, Xavier University, Wabash College, Marian University, and more.
