Create – Discover – Persevere

The Lower School program at Regis instills a passion for learning through thoughtfully designed experiences both in the classroom and out. Teachers work closely with students individually and in small groups to ensure differentiated instruction throughout the curriculum.

Active learning, movement, and collaboration are incorporated throughout the day and provide an important opportunity for students to partner with friends, begin to learn teamwork, and build meaningful relationships.

Boys are inspired to be enthusiastic readers, thoughtful writers, and inquisitive mathematicians and scientists, with robust critical thinking skills and efficient problem-solving skills, with the goal of moving on from Lower School on a path to becoming independent learners for a lifetime.

Technology with Purpose

Lower School Technology and MakerSpace introduces students to the Engineering Design Process to plan, create, test, and improve projects. Students work through vertically-aligned coding programs at each grade level, learn proper keyboarding techniques using the Typing Agent program, and are introduced to Windows and the Microsoft Office Suite.

Lower School students also learn to use various forms of technology to communicate their learning, such as stop motion animation, green screen technology, multimedia presentations, and Internet research.

In addition to our thoughtful approach to technology within each of our divisions, Regis is one of only three Apple Distinguished Schools in the Houston-area.
