Bull City Business Institute
Welcome to CRRTHS Freshman Training
We’re so excited to welcome you to the Bull City Business Institute (BCBI) — the beginning of your Cristo Rey journey! This two-week summer program is designed to equip you with the foundational skills, knowledge, and confidence you’ll need to succeed both in the classroom and in the workplace.
Over the course of this immersive training, you’ll learn what it means to be a Cristo Rey student: from understanding our core values and school culture to preparing for your professional role through our Corporate Work Study Program. You’ll meet your classmates, build community, and gain practical tools that will help you shine during your first job placement.
Below are answers to some frequently asked questions to help you and your family feel confident and prepared:
