Academics

Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep provides a rigorous 10-month college preparatory curriculum and our students are invested in learning and experiencing what it takes to be admitted to and graduate from a four-year college or university.

The faculty consists of 22 teachers, two school counselors, two college counselors, two alumni directors, and three resource teachers. 66% of the teachers hold Master’s degrees. The student-to-faculty ratio is 15:1. In addition, there are 78 full and part-time staff members and Corporate Work Study program drivers.

We strive to give each student both the challenge and the support to succeed in pursuit of their education and work to integrate the lessons they learn on their Corporate Work Study Program jobs and in the classroom. About 25% of CRSM students participate in College Bound Opportunities and/or the Waukegan to College program. These programs prepare high potential, low-income students to succeed in college through academic support, mentorship and college scholarship awards.

  • Future teachers in the making! 🍎📚 Congratulations to CRSM alumni Isabel Hernandez (’24) and Matthew Garcia (’24), who spent the week at the Golden Apple Scholar Summer Institute at Lake Forest College learning alongside veteran Golden Apple Scholars and Teachers of Distinction. Through hands-on workshops, mentorship, and collaboration, they gained valuable tools to support their journey toward becoming impactful educators. We’re also proud of Mr. Kevin Glabowicz, who served as both a facilitator and course instructor during the institute, helping prepare the next generation of teachers. Seeing our alumni return as future educators is a powerful reminder of the lasting impact they will have on their communities. 💙🍎 #weareCRSM #GoldenApple #FutureTeachers #LakeForestCollege #CristoRey AlumniSuccess
