Lower School experience
How do we do it?
The Regis Experience provides boys with a toolkit of opportunities that they can build on to learn to make wise decisions with confidence and courage. Every member of the community works together to create an environment designed distinctly for boys with high expectations and support for success. Every boy who participates in The Regis Experience is intentionally guided through a progressive and age-appropriate program of leadership and character development.
Five essential elements of The Regis Experience, rooted in the Sacred Heart mission:
- Catholic Identity (Goal I and IV)
- Challenging curriculum with quality instruction (Goal II)
- Community focus (Goal III and IV)
- Class size that is manageable and balanced (Goal IV and V)
- All-boy environment (Goal IV and V)
The essential elements are manifested in many ways in each division including some of the examples highlighted below.
Kindergarten through Second Grades
Regis students enter Lower School with a passion for learning and a developing understanding of what it means to be a child of the Sacred Heart. In grades Kindergarten through second, boys become more active participants in The Regis Experience. The faculty focus on giving boys opportunities to explore the world through discovery and hands-on instruction methods that further ignites their zest for learning and questioning.
Third through Fourth Grades
Regis students complete Lower School with a strong grasp of what it means to be an active learner and have a concrete understanding of what it means to be a child of the Sacred Heart. In grades three and four, boys become effective contributors in The Regis Experience. The students are challenged to extend themselves as learners, become more aware of the needs of others, and to recognize their talents and gifts and use them wisely.
