Building Futures Together: Cristo Rey and LEARN Charter Schools Strengthen Students’ Academic and Professional Paths

Dec 6, 2024 | CWSP, School News

“Cristo Rey develops dedicated students who bring responsibility and reliability to the tasks they are assigned. By supporting our teachers and school administrators, these thriving students gain invaluable work experience and simultaneously contribute meaningfully to the operation of our educational environment. The partnership between Cristo Rey and LEARN Schreiber creates a lasting impact on the high school students’ academic and professional journeys as they contribute to the learning of our young learners. We are honored to support their Corporate Work Study Program!” -Belinda Jaquez, Program Coordinator at LEARN John & Kathy Schreiber Campus

LEARN Charter Schools, across the North Chicago and Waukegan area, are our largest feeder schools for incoming students, representing approximately 30% of each grade level. They also have been a Corporate Work Study partner for the past 10 years. Currently, we have 14 students employed at different LEARN schools working as teacher assistants and administrative assistants. 

We are proud to have had our students work and come from LEARN Charter Schools over the years, and look forward to continuing this vital partnership!
