TESTIMONIALS “Our experience at The Regis School of the Sacred Heart has been incredible. The outpouring of support to ensure our son had a smooth transition began with a warm welcome of notes from members of the administration and staff. The level of communication to prepare our son and family for the upcoming year was extraordinary. We felt connected to the Regis community much sooner than we could have imagined. The transparency with the faculty is refreshing. The teachers are engaged and go beyond what we experienced in the past to share our son’s accomplishments with us while also providing support for challenges he may encounter. Our son has enjoyed his days laughing, learning and being active with his classmates. The curriculum strikes the right balance through a thoughtful pace and cadence of assignments by all the faculty seeming to work in concert together. Our son is upbeat each morning as we head off to school, and at the end of the day, he is elated to share all that has happened. As a parent of a new student, we have been overjoyed with our experience at Regis.”

-Hannah R., New Regis Parent, 2020-21 “Regis did a great job in assisting my classmates and me throughout the high school application process. Not only were we better prepared for high school, but we all got into the school of our choice.”

-Robert L., Chivalrous Knight Award Recipient, Class of 2018

REGIS HISTORY

At its founding in 1991, The Regis School of the Sacred Heart became the first and only 3 Pre-K through eighth grade all-boys Sacred Heart school in the Houston area, fulfilling a need in the city’s Catholic community. The school’s founders—with the guidance of Archbishop Fiorenza—envisioned a unique educational environment for their sons, simultaneously grounded in rigorous academics and the Sacred Heart goals of faith, intellect, service, community and maturity.

As part of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, Regis is one of twenty-four Sacred Heart schools across the United States and Canada and one of more than 200 schools around the world. These schools are dedicated to the values of Christian education articulated more than 200 years ago by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart. The Sacred Heart Goals shape not only curriculum development, but also teaching practices, character education and—most importantly—spiritual development.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

In the Early Childhood (3 Pre-K & 4 Pre-K) program at Regis, a boy is welcomed into a friendly atmosphere that nurtures positive selfesteem and promotes boy-centered learning in every aspect of his educational journey: spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally. Our goal is to set the foundation for a life-long love of learning in each student.

3 and 4 Pre-K students are introduced to the appropriate developmental skills for cognitive growth, personal and social behavior, as well as development of fine and gross motor skills. Our teachers love teaching boys and are skilled in helping them grow into our youngest scholars and gentlemen.

LOWER SCHOOL

Lower School (Kindergarten–Fourth Grade) provides a curriculum designed to challenge and grow students academically and socially while continuing their journey toward becoming scholars and gentlemen. It is accompanied with social awareness education and opportunities to serve and elevates the students’ academic, social and behavioral disciplines.

Students practice appropriate developmental skills for cognitive growth, personal and social behavior, and fine and gross motor skills.

Lower School students are challenged and encouraged to expand their knowledge and understanding on all levels. Built into our curriculum are a variety of ancillary classes designed to encourage boys’ interests and expose them to new concepts.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

The formative years of Middle School (Fifth–Eighth Grade) are full of rich experiences and unique learning opportunities. During this time, our faculty challenges our students to push their own limits and take risks. Being equipped to succeed in high school—as well as life in general—is only one aspect of a Middle School education. Our true goal is to shape individuals who will better our world, who are not afraid to test the limits and who know how to overcome failure and move forward.

The many “firsts” of Middle School often come with academic, social and spiritual challenges. For this reason, each boy is assigned to an Advisor and Advisory group beginning in the 5th grade. These groups and their Advisor stay together for the entirety of their time in Middle School, sharing struggles, participating in team building and constructing a support system.

TECHNOLOGY

At Regis, we understand the importance of teaching our students about digital citizenship and the appropriate use of technology. We believe the technology tools we provide our students should enhance their education, not replace instruction in the classroom.
