Our 5th grade students have been diving into the fascinating world of Explorers through 1815, studying ocean voyages, navigation, and the age of exploration. As the culmination of their studies, students designed and built their own ships before taking a trip to Elissa in Galveston to tour the historic tall ship!

Their incredible ship projects are now on display in the front office through Friday. We encourage you to stop by and take a look at the creativity and hard work of our students! ⚓️🌊

Join us for our Spring Concert tonight, Tuesday, April 28, at 6:30 PM! 🎶

In this year's VFW Patriot's Pen Essay Contest, Regents Academy swept the podium! Congratulations to sixth graders Lucy Austin (1st), Delilah Lewis (2nd), and Julian Baltierra (3rd)!

Yesterday (probably) marked Shakespeare’s 462nd birthday! As one of the most prolific writers of the Western canon, we spend a lot of time with his works in our Omnibus classes. By the time our students graduate, they have read Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Macbeth, and Henry V; learned to read and write in iambic pentameter; and recently, even performed “The Scottish Play”!

Today, our students had the privilege of hearing from alumnus Sam Alders (Class of 2014) during morning assembly. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9:24, Hebrews 12:1–2, and Luke 16:10, he encouraged our students to run hard and finish faithfully.
