Job Summary

Our Mission and Unique Approach CRISTO REY DE LA SALLE is a diverse Lasallian Catholic college preparatory high school. As part of the Cristo Rey Network, the largest national network of Catholic schools, our mission is to serve first-generation students by providing a high-quality college preparatory education, supporting our students into and through college with an intentional focus on the social, emotional, and physical well-being of our students.

We offer a near-zero tuition, college-preparatory, student-centered instructional program. Faculty and staff are the backbone of the school, and the development of relationships is foundational to the success of each student. Through our personalized mentorship program, mastery- and project-based curriculum, and corporate work-study program experience, our mission is to prepare our students to lead lives of faith, purpose, and service who will succeed in college and beyond.

The Ideal Candidate We are seeking dynamic growth-minded individuals committed not only to our mission but also to equity and inclusion who reflect and/or celebrate our rich cultural diversity. Our teachers support and embrace the seven essential characteristics of an educator at CRDLS and cultivate a culture of collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and resilience.
