As an alumnus of Regis, I have grown to appreciate the school more and more with every passing day. Regis is a special place that prepares young men into intelligent and thoughtful contributors to society. While I was attending Regis I often focused on the tremendous workload and lack of a 'typical high school experience' as serious drawbacks. However, after leaving Regis I have come to truly value the education I received. The faculty are overqualified. I had a hard time finding college professors who were on par with Regis teachers. The environment is challenging and competitive but in the best sense. Every day at Regis you find a student that challenges just how smart you thought you were. Finally, Regis provides an education that helps develop well rounded young men. To this day my closest friends are the ones I met at Regis.
Regis High School is a wonderful place for boys to grow into men academically and morally. The teachers truly care about their students. The administrators and counselors are experts in understanding the boys entrusted to them. My son is currently a sophomore. He is so happy to have been chosen to receive a scholarship. He loves his school and strives to his best. I recommend Regis wholeheartedly to everyone. My second son is currently in the application process and we are praying he will also benefit from a Regis education and become the 'Man for Others' that this world sorely needs.
As an Alumnus, I can confirm that a student will receive an excellent education at Regis, one that will allow you to coast through the vast majority of your university experience. Despite the scholarship however, this education is far from free. Understand that the four years spent in Regis will be the most stressful years of your son's life. With that in mind, do not force your child to apply here, it's a choice and an investment that they need to make on their own or they will hold it against you for a very, very long time. Academics are top notch, but students gain the most from visiting 'resource rooms' which serve as department offices. Speaking with teachers between classes for homework help or to review a topic can save lots of late-night panicking. Regis has an insular feel to it, but exploring Manhattan after class is key. Beware and good luck.
I love Regis because it is an all scholarship school for gifted young men that gives them a superior education, encourages original thinking, moral values and a sense of duty to community. There is a lifelong camaraderie among the students which is fostered.
