FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our priority deadline is December 5th. If you apply by this date, you will receive an admission decision on January 21st, 2026.
Only completed applications will receive an admissions decision.
If you complete the application after December 5th, 2025, your application will be considered if there is still room in the class. The later you apply, the less likely it is to have space, so please apply as soon as possible. An increase in applications and a growing wait list are reasons we can no longer consider late applications once we have met capacity.
An early acceptance application is an application that is submitted before the December Priority Deadline. These applications will be the first ones to be reviewed and considered for admission. Submitting your application by this deadline not only increases your chances of getting accepted, but you will also be one of the first to receive your decision as soon as we announce them in mid-January.
Yes. The FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment must be completed along with the admissions application. If you are admitted, the acceptance letter, including your financial aid award, will be mailed and emailed to you.

Yes. As noted in our mission statement, we choose to provide opportunities for those who would not have the financial ability to attend a private college prep option. Our income guideline sheet will help you to see if you are eligible for admission consideration.
All applicant files are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine if we have the capacity to serve the student's academic needs.
No. We do not require the TACHS, ISEE, or HSPT. We use the grades, standardized test scores, and letters of recommendation that you submit when you apply. If your application is considered for review, you will then be invited to come in for an assessment and interview.
No. Students of all faiths and denominations are welcome. The school is open to all; however, it should be understood that it is a Catholic institution, and religion classes, monthly liturgical celebrations, and spiritual retreats will be part of your CRNYHS experience.
Within the acceptance package, there will be instructions on how to submit the registration fee and necessary forms.
Payments can be paid in person or mailed to the Admissions Office.

Tuition for the 2025-2026 school year is $23,000, however, that is not what you and your family will pay. With the help of our Corporate Work Study Program and private donations, families are responsible for no more than $2,000 per year. Financial aid and scholarships could decrease this amount.
The majority of a student’s tuition is financed through the Corporate Work Study Program, so the most a family would be expected to pay is $200 a month. However, many families may be asked to contribute less than this. All families are required to submit financial information to confirm eligibility.
Upon acceptance and intent to enroll families must complete a financial aid form. The actual amount of financial aid awarded will be determined based on each family’s individual need.
Payments can be made via check, cash, or credit card to the Finance Office in person, through mail, or over the phone. Recurring payments can be scheduled through the Finance Office.
Monthly or quarterly payment options are available.
If you are on a payment plan, your tuition payments are due on the first of every month from August through May.
Payments are made via Black Baud. The Tuition Manager will set up the account for you.
If you have any questions regarding tuition, please contact our Tuition Manager, Ms. Gladys Garcia at glgarcia@cristoreyny.org.

Yes. The school environment is designed to reflect the dress and atmosphere of a corporate workplace. As such, the students wear a uniform daily. All students will be taught to dress and groom themselves in a manner appropriate for a professional work environment.
Yes. All students participate in the Corporate Work-Study Program for all four years at Cristo Rey New York. Therefore, as a requirement for admission, all students must be 14 years old and have the necessary documentation to be legally employed in the USA. Students who cannot hold a job cannot remain in the academic program.
Students are interviewed and evaluated and their interests and skills are taken into consideration for job placement. Ultimately, the Corporate Work-Study Program team decides where each student will work each year.
