Faith in high school.(Scan)
A group of Catholic high schools with high standards but low budgets have found a way to help poor kids gain access to quality education. The Cristo Rey schools, of which there are currently five in the country (and four more scheduled to open next year), set up their students with part-time jobs. The kids work hard: They attend classes four days a week (with long days and a long school year), then work one day a week. The money they earn doesn't go to the kids for pocket spending; it benefits them by going directly to their schools. Those funds offset about 70 percent of the student's tuition, Tom Vander Ark, head of education at the Gates Foundation, tells Philanthropy magazine.
Cristo Rey students have been financing the majority of their education since 1996, following the model established by the Corporate Internship Program at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School of Chicago. Now the Gates and Cassin Foundations have pledged almost $19 million to expand the Cristo Rey network throughout the U.S. These grants will establish a total of 16 schools.
