Tuition & Financial Aid

Cristo Rey Orlando exclusively serves students who desire a college preparatory education but could not otherwise afford the rising costs of private school tuition in our area.

While the actual cost to educate a Cristo Rey Orlando student is approximately $21,000 per year, families are only asked to contribute $100 per month ($1,000 per year). 

All students admitted to Cristo Rey must demonstrate financial need by meeting the income criteria of the Cristo Rey Network. A Cristo Rey Orlando education is made possible by a unique blend of fundraising, tuition, tax credit scholarships and our innovative Corporate Work Study program:

This is possible thanks to a unique blend of: 

• Family Contribution: Cristo Rey Orlando requires a minimal contribution for tuition from each family. The amount of tuition for each student is determined on a sliding scale based on their family’s annual income.

• Corporate Work Study Program:  All Cristo Rey Orlando students work throughout their four years of high school, earning approximately 50% of the cost of their education while also gaining valuable business experience and building their resume.
