ounded in 2003, Regina Caeli Academy has grown from just six families in

the metro Atlanta area to nearly 300 families in nine cities. Over 1,000 students follow the Mother of Divine Grace classical curriculum together on Mondays and Thursdays, spending the remaining days of the week in the home.

The overwhelming impression a visit to Regina Caeli leaves is that of joy. Mrs. Karen D’Anselmi, whose 11th, 8th, and 4th grade sons attend the (location?) Connecticut center, remarks, “My kids are thrilled to go and love the social interaction and need the structure. It helps me for all the same reasons!” In areas where home schooling families may feel isolation, the days at Regina Caeli provide a twice-weekly meeting place for like-minded parents to receive moral and academic support.
