Our K-12 Campus

Our campus is much more than a single school for all the children in a family. 

Our 82-acre campus, housing three separate schools that together are Regents, provides continuity and relationship, familiarity as children mature and learn, and deliberate connection between younger and older students. 

It also allows our faculty to continue to see their students as they grow, whether in passing or by serving as a thesis advisor. From all school chapels with pairings of older and younger students, to more informal times where our kindergarten students give their first oral presentations about the solar system in the same room where our seniors give their senior theses, we are an integrated community. Students see the next phase of their education by watching older students perform, or by playing with them outside.  Our younger and older students know each other by name. Younger students attend sporting events of their older friends; they compete with them through 4H; they attend their plays and thesis presentations.

A unique strength of Regents comes from our many extended families who choose a Regents education.  We cherish the many cousins who attend school together, grandparents who work alongside their grandchildren on campus, and alumni who return to enroll their own children, passing on the legacy of their Regents experience.

Parent involvement in the classroom and on campus is at the heart of Regents. You'll find parents playing an active role by participating in field trips, helping in the garden, joining students for lunch, assisting with art shows, and providing hospitality for events. Whether helping in classrooms, lunchrooms, and libraries or planning and executing events, parents are integral to the life and success of Regents.

A Family Legacy:

Grandparents William and Kelly were one of our First Families. William describes their family’s time at Regents as a bit of an experiment, as uniforms and start times and curriculum and school calendar all were decided. From portable buildings affectionately known as The Cottages to our current campus, from 17 children to nearly 1,100, their family has seen Regents mature as God has faithfully provided over generations. Five of their children graduated from Regents, and now all nine of their school-aged grandchildren are students here!


Reading Buddies:

Each third-grade student is paired with a Kindergarten Reading Buddy, fostering connection and a love for reading. The buddies meet regularly throughout the year, with third graders reading to their Kindergarten partners during each session. By the end of the year, it’s heartwarming to witness the roles reverse as Kindergarten students confidently read to their third-grade buddies.

 

All School Chapel:

While each school division holds weekly chapel services, several times a year, we are blessed to gather as a community for an All-School Chapel. These special occasions celebrate the unity of our staff and students, fostering a deep sense of connection. Together, students from Kindergarten through 12th grade sing the school song, hear scripture recitations, and learn as one body. A standout tradition is the annual Ephesians Chapel, where 1st–6th graders recite the entire book of Ephesians, an inspiring highlight of the year.

 

Rocket Day:

Rocket Day is a thrilling celebration of space exploration, creativity, and a touch of friendly competition as Grammar students gather to watch the launches and cheer on their friends.

 

Crowe’s Nest Farm:

Our first Kindergarten field trip each year is to a small working farm nearby.  The seniors join the Kindergarten students for this trip, many paired with the same teacher whom they had in Kindergarten! Reliving old memories and sharing them with younger students gives opportunity for the beginning and end of a Regents education to blend in beauty.

 

K-12 Buddies:

Multiple times per year, all students on campus meet in older/younger buddy pairs.  Together, the buddies attend chapel, work on activities together, and serve our ministerium partners. We seek opportunities for the older students to be involved in activities with the younger students—the same activities they still remember from their own Grammar school days. We also provide space for younger students to support the older, by attendance and participation at their games and performances.  Prayer time with and for each other cements focus and relationships.
