The Capstone of the Regents Education

What does this look like at Regents?

 

  • Harkness Tables

Much of our students' learning is around oval Harkness Tables in discussion (and sometimes argument!) with one another and teachers.
 

  • Humanities

Our students work and rework themes written on subjects in the Humanities until both the form and substance of their thoughts are eloquent and persuasive.
 

  • Math & Science

Even in math and science courses, students learn to express their understanding of difficult concepts with words as well as through successful calculation and experiment.
 

  • Senior Thesis

In what has become a meaningful rite of passage, each senior, in public, presents and defends a researched thesis before a panel of informed judges.

You can watch the thesis presentations here
 

  • The "Great Conversation"

Our students examine the Western tradition of art, history, literature, theology and philosophy chronologically, recognizing the "Great Conversation" of the ages-and considering what it means to participate in it.
