About Arrupe Jesuit High School
Arrupe Jesuit High School is located in northwest
Denver at 4343 Utica Street.
Arrupe Jesuit High School is the 47th college
preparatory Jesuit High School in the United States and was
designed primarily to serve the economically disadvantaged
in the city of Denver.
Arrupe was founded by the Jesuits of the Missouri
Province and is part of a larger Jesuit educational tradition
in the Denver area along with Regis University and Regis High
School, both founded in 1877.
Arrupe is modeled after the extremely successful
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School located in Chicago. Arrupe is
also part of the Cristo Rey Network (www.cristoreynetwork.org)
which is a national association of high schools that provides
quality, catholic, college prep education to low-income families
who otherwise could not afford such an opportunity.
Cristo Rey-model high schools currently serve over 3,000 students in twelve cities across the country. Each school has its own identity and
curriculum but is characterized by the Corporate
Work-Study Program.
