Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School is a college preparatory Catholic school in Philadelphia that serves students across four high school grades and educates learners from diverse faith backgrounds. Founded in 2012, it enrolls about 547 students and is the 25th institution in the Cristo Rey Network. In 2019 the campus moved to a new location in the Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood, while continuing to serve students from underrepresented communities in the Philadelphia and Camden areas. The school operates with a longer school day and year, supported by structured academic assistance and counseling intended to close attainment gaps and prepare students for college success. All students take part in a Work-Study Program that sends them to entry-level jobs in professional environments five full days per month, with earnings funding a significant portion of the school's education costs. Temple University has partnered with Cristo Rey Philadelphia since 2018 to provide a year-round internship mentoring program.
