Regents Mission Statement Regents Academy, as a Christian ministry to parents and students, provides a Christian and Classical education that equips students to view all areas of life and faith from a Christian worldview and to develop academic skills enabling them to be lifelong learners themselves.
General Information The Bible tells us to bring up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). The Lord Jesus Christ tells us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind (Matthew 22:37). Regents Academy was formed to help parents fulfill these commands. The many years that are devoted to formal education greatly impact the direction and thoughts of our children. Parents desire their children's success intellectually, socially, and physically. But most important for the Christian parent is their children's understanding and application of the Christian faith. Providing Christian education for our children is costly, but not nearly as costly as the alternatives. Problems in modern American society and education are frightening to parents. Christians should not be surprised at these problems, for they are the expected result of a culture that rejects God. But Christians should not panic and retreat. Jesus said, "In this world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). It is with this assurance of Christ's victory that Regents Academy was started. God has called parents, not the state, to educate children. Education is to be conducted in light of God's revelation of Himself in the Scriptures and in recognition that all truth is God's truth. Regents Academy is committed to these ideals of Christian education. Regents Academy seeks to raise a high standard for both Christian character and academic achievement. We are committed to a Biblical worldview in all areas of life; therefore, we want to teach children how God's Word and world relates to all subject areas. When parents consider where to educate their children, the primary concern should be for providing Christian foundations in all areas of life and thought. Your commitment to provide the spiritual and academic benefits of a Christian education will affect your child for this world and for eternity; furthermore, it will affect the future of our civilization. Christian education is not simply a luxury when we consider our responsibilities toward God for our children. Children from Christian homes must learn to "think God's thoughts after Him" and view all facts as God-created, God-controlled facts. The sacrifices that parents make to support Christian education will be blessed by God.
