Background
ICA Cristo Rey was established in 1883 by the Dominican Sisters of the Congregation of the Queen of the Holy Rosary of Mission San Jose. The school is located in the heart of San Francisco.{{cite web|url=https://www.icacristorey.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1453636&type=d&pREC_ID=1612612|title=School History-About Us|access-date=25 January 2019|archive-date=26 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190126060836/https://www.icacristorey.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1453636&type=d&pREC_ID=1612612|url-status=dead}} ICA Cristo Rey became the first all-girls school in the Cristo Rey Network on August 31, 2009. Since then tuition cost for parents has dropped to about one-third of what it was, with employers paying about $30,000 a year to the school for one entry-level job. The work is performed by four students at each job site, one student from each of the four years. Each year has a day off to work one day a week and an additional day once a month.{{Cite news|url=https://missionlocal.org/2011/05/one-high-school-in-the-mission-redefines-work-study/|title=High School in the Mission Redefines Work Study|work=MissionLocal|access-date=2018-01-03|language=en-US}} Since Immaculate Conception is now a Cristo Rey School, it accepts only students who meet the low-family-income criteria.{{Cite web|url=http://www.icacademy.org/index.php/admission/criteria/|title=Admissions criteria|website=www.icacademy.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-01-03|archive-date=2018-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180124215955/http://www.icacademy.org/index.php/admission/criteria/|url-status=dead}} In 2017-2018 the school had 30 sponsors and about 100 work-study partners.{{Cite web|url=http://www.icacademy.org/index.php/corporate-work-study/current-sponsors/|title=Partners and sponsors|website=www.icacademy.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-01-03|archive-date=2018-01-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180105120240/http://www.icacademy.org/index.php/corporate-work-study/current-sponsors|url-status=dead}}
