EduCativPosted October 29, 2020SharePosted October 29, 2020 Founded in 1992 with 17 students, Regents believes in Christ-centered education for the whole person, flourishing throughout childhood and adulthood. We call this classical Christian. Along our journey, the school has grown under our community's careful care to an 82-acre campus with over 1000 students. The mission of Regents School is to provide a classical and Christian education founded upon and informed by a Christian worldview that equips students to know love and practice that which is right, fair, and beautiful, and which challenges them to strive for excellence as they live purposefully and intelligently in the service of God and man. The purpose of Regents School is to operate a school that will closely adhere to and does nothing in conflict with the Mission, Philosophy, Objectives. Doctrinal Statement set out in Article II of these Bylaws. We are a school community seeking to serve humanity and honor God. By engaging in our classical and Christian programs, students appreciate truth, goodness, and beauty. But we are more than appreciating these eternal ideas. We are seeking to put them into practice. A school environment trains to develop knowledge, but we also want students to love these ideas. As they love ideas, they will practice those eternal ideas. By the way, this is not the pursuit of reading great books in order to become philosophers. We drink deeply from the Western tradition so that our graduates are equipped for an ever-changing world. And yet, we are a place much more straightforward. We are a community that loves being with children as they mature into teens, and then we celebrate their adulthood. Do not let our aesthetically pleasing campus distract your heart. Regents are simply about developing little children into strong men and women. Education at Regents School is inherently different from secular education in philosophy, pedagogy, and content. Regents School recognizes that God has entrusted parents with the responsibility to educate their children and, therefore, operate as an extension of the family in a cooperative educational partnership. Every parent desires the best education possible for their children. Our motor lab addresses the entire young body and soul as we guide the mind's efforts. Our academics challenge the mind, resulting in prepared students who achieve strong Advanced Placement scores and high SAT/ACT scores. Our Senior Thesis program is the capstone of the Regents educational experience, and we invite you to learn more. But if you ask our faculty and staff, the real joy at Regents is the growth of the student's character and spiritual formation. This happens along the way through careful readings of ancient wisdom expanding our moral and spiritual capacities, through caring teachers shepherding hearts and minds, through ministeriums where students experience hands-on the joy of serving others, and through our beautiful co-curricular providing ample opportunity for growth in disciple, love, passion, attitude, poise, and focus. Our Regents Parents Council is our biggest asset at Regents. Our parents come together and provide countless hours of volunteering. These hours create a partnership within our parent/teacher community resulting in incredible and memorable events throughout our calendar year. Education is inherently value-laden. Classical, Christian education is essentially a Christian liberal education - an education for Christians that prepares them to be free Christian men and women for service in God's kingdom. Therefore, we seek to offer an education that: 1) is both rich and challenging for the academically gifted students and at the same time accessible to those students God has gifted with "average" academic ability 2) recognizes that all truth, goodness, and beauty consist in and proceed from the holiness and eternal majesty of God and are divine absolutes. We reject any subjective relativism that the secular world may assign to any of these and 3) is designed to develop Biblical wisdom and Christian virtue by equipping students to know, love, and practice what is right, fair, and beautiful. Regents School recognizes that God has established spheres of earthly authority, including the family. He has explicitly entrusted to parents the responsibility to educate their children. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Ephesians 6:4). Therefore, Regents School is established to operate as an extension of the family to cooperatively assist parents in carrying out their God-given educational duty (in loco parentis - in the place of the parent) by providing the particular type of Christian education outlined in these Bylaws. Every day we seek to live up to our name. All of this and more has culminated in Regents School of Austin – a place for joy, character, challenge, commitment, and community. It is our privilege to host you here online, and we look forward to an opportunity to host you on our unique campus.View full schoolQuoteLink to commentShare on other sitesMore sharing options...
