We’ve blogged several times before here about the Cristo Rey high schools, a unique and, by all accounts, very successful education model that, among other things, successfully merges academics and work experience. I had thought it was an exclusively Jesuit mission, but it’s not – the first Cristo Rey school was, indeed, Jesuit, but not all are.

There are several around the country, and more under study. From all accounts, fine schools.

D.C. will see one open in 2007 – run by the Archdiocese and the Salesians. Good to see!
