Dear Regents friends and families,
We are all greatly anticipating the move to the new campus, but as I’ve been praying, this question came to me, and it was one I posed to the Logic & Rhetoric Schools recently: are we prepared for the move? There has been much prayer and labor and trust and faithfulness behind the scenes to get to the point...

One of the goals of this newsletter is to give you a glimpse of what life is like at Regents School. There are the funny stories like the kindergartener who recently came to my office because he was having a hard time getting along with another friend.

What do you think of college so far?
Honestly, college has not been very hard and I have no idea why – so many people around me are drowning. It has been sweet to be really prepared and ready. Coming from high school at Regents where it was really hard, I can easily sit down now and work and get the things done that I need to do.
In first grade, Mrs. Bryant is proud of how her students are learning to be peacemakers. “We always start the year in Bible class learning about biblical peacemaking – but this is a subject that is easier learned about in theory than put into practice!” she says. “I was very proud recently when two of the girls were having a problem with each other,...
Read More“Hermeneutics refers to the art and science of properly interpreting Scripture. Since students surveyed the Old Testament (7th grade) and New Testament (8th grade), the next step in ninth grade is to begin equipping students to study the Bible themselves. So we begin with some first principles: What do inspiration and inerrancy mean? What is...
Read More“Each and every one of us is an image bearer of God carries the weightiness of God’s glory. Just as much as we’re called to steward our time and our finances, we are called to steward the glory of being His image bearer. We are constantly interacting with other people made in the image of God. There is a weightiness of being invited into a relationship...
Read More“Courage is a command. It’s not optional for God’s people. God commands His people to have courage as we live in a world that could frighten us and tempt us to take the easy way out. But what we need to do is to stay firm for what is true and good and beautiful.
Courage comes from having a big sovereign God. If God had told Joshua,...
Congratulations to the Regents Class of 2022 for finishing strong! At commencement on June 3rd, Noelle Straka gave a valedictory address that left few dry eyes. At thee end of the day, Noelle's thoughts say more about the school than anything I could tell you. I'd like to share these excerpts from her remarks with you:
"As I look back upon my...
"God told them, “Go into the middle of the Jordan, in front of the Ark of the Lord your God. Each of you must pick up one stone and carry it out on your shoulder – twelve stones in all, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones...
Read MoreAs a student progresses from Grammar to Logic School to Rhetoric School we practice certain rites of passage, recognizing maturity, growth and achievement. A student can more easily embrace their new responsibilities and roles in the future as adults when they are given opportunities to practice this during their development. Students in sixth grade receive a rose and tie,...

Read MoreIf you had to answer eighth grade's Socratic Seminar question, what would you say? Question:
What do you think is the most important or pressing issue for the church in the U.S. to be talking about today, and why?
The eighth graders discussing the question proposed many competing issues but in the end decided that the most pressing...
One of the distinctives of Regents is a class on Building a Biblical Worldview held every Tuesday during the sixth grade year. Taught by Sheila and Donna Richardson, the class’s goals are to learn to think biblically in every aspect of their days, to remove stumbling blocks to belief - areas where the teachings of secular culture contradict the Bible, and to...
Read MoreI’ve been thinking in this gray time of year about how perseverance is often about being faithful in the little things. Last week in faculty meeting, Ms. Campbell asked the teachers to think of something that encouraged them this week:
Regents eighth graders taking New Testament with Justin Keller recently considered the following question in their Socratic discussion:
"Paul seeks to correct multiple problems in the Corinthian church by applying the gospel. If he were writing a letter today, what problems do you think he would seek to correct in your church? Why? How?"
