Dear Prospective Cristo Rey Families,

​

We are so excited to invite your child to experience what it’s like to be a part of the Cristo Rey New York family through our Lion for a Day shadow program! This is a unique opportunity for 8th-grade students to step into the life of a Cristo Rey Lion, spending the day alongside one of our current students.

​

At Cristo Rey, we believe that every student has the potential to shine, and Lion for a Day allows your child to truly immerse themselves in our vibrant community. They’ll sit in on engaging classes, share lunch with their buddy, and discover what makes Cristo Rey so special—from our strong academics to the friendships and experiences that shape every student’s journey here.

​

We want your child to see firsthand what it means to be part of a school that celebrates individuality, encourages growth, and provides the tools to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. They’ll get a real feel for what it’s like to be a Lion—whether it’s getting involved in our wide range of clubs, sports, and activities, or simply walking through our halls filled with community, pride, and purpose.

​

Best,
Ms. Tejada’10
Director of Admissions & Community Engagement
