2020-21 School Year Updates
We are currently in a hybrid model of instruction; parents choose if their student(s) will be learning virtually or if they will attend school in-person. All students learning virtually attend school remotely via the internet every day of the week. All students who select in-person instruction attend school in the school building every day of the week. Parents who select for their student(s) to attend school in-person must complete the Commitment Form.
Please see the Return to School - Reopening Resource Guide for comprehensive information. All protocols are subject to change depending on CDC guidance, number of students attending school in-person, and coronavirus infection rates.

In these challenging times, we are better together.
Many of our supporters have asked how they can help Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. The most immediate need is for our school families who are struggling. Kindly consider making a gift to the newly established Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit Family Fund so that we may help school families through this crisis. Providing families with temporary financial relief to meet their rent, grocery, and utility bills will help ensure that our students remain committed to their studies and will provide much-needed security in these unstable times.
