A Visit to Regina Caeli Academy

ecause families commit for an entire year to participate in the

community, tutor or assist in classrooms, and follow the common lesson plans, parents find their home school transformed for the better. The program provides an accountability that instills habits of consistency. Mother of Divine Grace is a time-tested curriculum whose graduates go on to attend top colleges and universities; Regina Caeli takes that success and builds on it by bringing students into a community of learning together in charity, courtesy, and mutual encouragement.

Important parts of supporting parents and building community are the unifying principles of the Regina Caeli community. All staff members pledge an Oath of Fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, promising to practice the Faith in which they teach each other’s children. All parents, even those not on staff, can participate in ongoing education and personal consults with experienced classical educators. Tutors--mothers, fathers, priests, and religious--participate in yearly training in the classical vision, child development, and St. John Bosco’s beloved ‘preventative method’ of discipline.
