Dear Regents friends and families,
This month we are taking the opportunity to focus most of this newsletter on what physical activity looks like at Regents School. As Athletic Director, this is a topic that is obviously near and dear to my heart. Our bodies matter - not just as a means to an end, but as vessels created by God that reflect His...
Over 20 pastors came to our first-ever Pastor Day at the Grammar School.

Read More"The center of Christian education must be the Scriptures, and Christians will not experience growth in godliness apart from the Word of God. So I want my students to know God's Word well. I want them to see how the Old Testament (7th grade) and New Testament (8th grade) hang together narratively, thematically, and theologically. I hope if guests visited one of my...

“What does it mean to have a successful year at Regents?
I believe that if in May you find yourself identifying your own tendencies towards either peace faking or peace breaking and you repent of them and you choose to live as a peace maker even though it’s...
Dear Regents Friends and Families,
It may not quite feel like summer has ended with the 100 degree temperatures this week, but I can assure you that school is in full swing here at Regents! One of my favorite parts of this year so far was gathering as a full school body in Chapel last Friday. For the first time ever, every single pew at Jefferson Park Baptist...

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...

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,...

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,...
