Although I began with very few friends and a penchant to succeed, only one of those things continued past the first week. Being a thespian, it was highly unlucky that I didn’t get to participate in the school’s fall play, but since being cast in the spring play I have made up for it 100 fold. My experience in being the unofficial Boy’s Division Chorus president truly gave me some perspective I wasn’t expecting. From Human Geography presentations about social economics in Iceland with my wonderful teacher, Mr. Ting, to my Honors Geography logic and reasoning assignments with Mr. Smith, to a fetal pig dissection in honors biology, I truly can say that I have experienced it all and more here at Regis Jesuit, and that I’m sure to not leave anytime soon....

I'm really impressed with the high expectations the teachers have for students and they way they all "nerd out" together. The kids have tons of STEM-related experiences during the school day and through amazing multi-day excursions/trips. You can tell this school really prioritizes learning and problem-solving. I think it's important to note that, if it's between funding a new electronics lab and upgrading the students' soccer jerseys, STEM is going to prioritize the lab. And you know what?

As a mother of four teens and young adults, I've attended hundreds of parent/teacher conferences and a litany of other experiences. I struggle to accurately encompass and represent how Eagle has transformed my children. Some people don't fit the customary mold of elementary/middle/high mainstream schools. The kids who drop out, don't achieve awards/honors, don't excel in sports, experience bullying, are pulled to drugs/violence, have mental health complications, fall into lower income brackets, and have complicated home lives are the ones often handled in a reactive manner. Like chasing a waterfall to bring it back to the top of the hill, this approach rarely works. Eagle Academy takes a proactive approach. Each student is interviewed and offered a new slate with clear expectations in place.
