1:1 Technology
Cristo Rey puts a laptop in the hands of every student. Students research, take notes, use apps to virtually mix chemical experiments, study human anatomy, prep for SAT, and create multimedia projects.
Technology is a cornerstone that supports the classroom experience and opens doors to resources in and out of school.
Student workers know that tech isn't just transforming the workplace - it is the workplace. Whether working in-person or remotely, sharp tech skills ensure workplace productivity.
