The school welcomed its inaugural class in August 2024. On the second day of school, students gathered for a "draft day" event at Seattle University in which each student learned their work-study placement.[2]

Corporate Work Study

edit

Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle partners with Seattle-area corporations to provide each student with an entry-level, professional job. Students work five days each month to gain job skills, earn money for themselves, and offset the cost of their education.[3] Corporate partners include Amazon, Paccar, Microsoft, Twitch, T-Mobile, and Premera Blue Cross.[4]
