The promise of Christ the King Preparatory School is the promise of opportunity.
The opportunity offered students to work for their own private education. The opportunity offered young people to be the first in their family to attend college. The opportunity offered students to build a future that might otherwise be impossible. Christ the King Prep will provide these opportunities to its students on a daily basis. This opportunity will set us apart As part of the successful Cristo Rey Network, our unique Corporate Work Study Program will allow our students to pursue their educational dreams while learning about the corporate community where they will one day work. Work and study will make Christ the King students successful. This unique approach to schooling will set our students apart. Each week the newspapers feature new reports chronicling the challenges faced by schools serving urban communities. At Christ the King Prep we have designed a program that meets these challenges by combining excellent classroom instruction with meaningful community partnerships. At a time when more than half of students in urban areas do not attend college, the dropout rate at Cristo Rey schools in 2006 was 2.6% — and 96% of last year’s Cristo Rey graduates enrolled in college. This is the promise we are bringing to the greater Newark community. This is the promise being delivered by our Corporate Sponsors. We are so grateful to them for their leadership. Every young person deserves an opportunity. This is our mission. This is our hope. Thank you for all that you have made possible. Edward Glynn, S.J.
