Community
|
At ICA Cristo Rey, we believe in caring for the whole student -- mind, body, and spirit. At ICA Cristo Rey, we provide a holistic education that nurtures the minds, bodies, and spirits of our students. Our rigorous college preparatory curriculum challenges young women to think critically, problem-solve, and collaborate effectively. Beyond the classroom, our vibrant community offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including a thriving athletics program, student-led clubs, and opportunities for spiritual growth through Campus Ministry and retreats. These experiences help students develop leadership, teamwork, and time management skills, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Athletics
Our athletics program features seven teams competing at the junior varsity and varsity level. We play within the San Francisco United School District, squaring off against public and private high schools throughout San Francisco. Our student-athletes practice between 5-6 times per week while balancing school, homework, and the CWS program.
Student Activities
Student activities are many and include student government, affinity groups, clubs, arts (such as photography, visual arts, and choir), and a student newspaper. Students are also encouraged to begin student organizations focusing on their interests, and indeed, new clubs are created each year.
Campus Ministry
Our Campus Ministry students help create the spiritual culture within the school community. They host liturgies, prayer services, and daily prayer throughout the year, and run at least one full- or multi-day retreat for each grade level. Campus Ministry ensures that students are able to reflect and tune-in to their own personal spiritual journeys, whatever that might look like.
Health & Wellness
Our PE/Wellness program helps each student develop their physical and emotional selves. Opportunities range from yoga and dance to fitness, strength and conditioning, and gardening. Students also participate in a special Health & Wellness Course taught by a mental health professional.
