History

Cristo Rey Atlanta opened in 2014 under the auspices of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in midtown Atlanta, in a three-story building that formerly served as the chancery building for the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

As the demand for its services expanded, the school accepted the donation of a much larger, seven-story building in downtown Atlanta.[3]
