Description
"Cristo Rey is magical. What you see there is hope and optimism." --Melinda French Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation They built more than a school--they built a future! Brick by brick, Chicago-area Jesuits saw their dream of starting a new college prep school for the children of Hispanic working poor come true. Student by student, they saw a better and brighter future unfold. You'll be truly inspired as you read how this Jesuit vision--now a national model for educational success--continues to challenge those who have much and to change the lives of those who have little. "More Than a Dream shines a light into the soul of urban education, illuminating the extraordinary challenges and the breathtaking and transformational results of the Cristo Rey-model schools." --Darren Jackson, CFO of Best Buy "Cristo Rey schools change children's lives. This is a story that needs to be told." --Laura Vanderkam, member of USA Today's Board of Contributors "An enticing tale of inspiration, improvisation and innovation . . . A testament to the will and wisdom of a hearty lot who believed in poor kids and who had faith that the impossible is possible in urban education." --Jerome T. Murphy, Dean emeritus and Harold Howe II Professor of Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education
