As an Alumnus, I can confirm that a student will receive an excellent education at Regis, one that will allow you to coast through the vast majority of your university experience. Despite the scholarship however, this education is far from free. Understand that the four years spent in Regis will be the
... Read more most stressful years of your son's life. With that in mind, do not force your child to apply here, it's a choice and an investment that they need to make on their own or they will hold it against you for a very, very long time. Academics are top notch, but students gain the most from visiting 'resource rooms' which serve as department offices. Speaking with teachers between classes for homework help or to review a topic can save lots of late-night panicking. Regis has an insular feel to it, but exploring Manhattan after class is key. Beware and good luck. Read less

I'm the first to 0-star regis, so before you label me as some student swamped by work who doesn't understand the longterm importance of schools like Regis, please hear me out. Regis will provide a great education. Your son will be challenged, and will be rewarded further in life for struggling through
... Read more such an advanced curriculum. I must say, however, Regis will distort your child's view of the world, it is great at producing the future desk-slaves and important people of America, yet it will steal so much from him at an age where social interaction (especially with girls) is necessary. The truth is, when he emerges from the great shelter of Regis he will be blatantly different from other college students, will have a significantly higher chance of not seeming to fit in anywhere, and of falling into a specific category of people rather than retaining his individuality and creativity.(Alumnus) Read less

For my son, a disaster, for others I guess great. I've known both. Students are expected to feel constantly privileged to be there,which breeds arrogance on the part of the administration.

I wrote a review in January of '07 while my son was waiting to hear if he was accepted. Now I am the parent of a sophomore! Everything I believed about the school has come to fruition.

To the 7th and 8th graders - Regis is academically one of the best high schools in the country. The 7th grader worried about his A's in MS becoming 80's at Regis is correct; they probably will. The sports at Regis are limited but like most things, you can take out what you put into it. Also,

They probably would have this same problem regardless of the high school they attend. Those students at least fit in at Regis. Also, it is a myth to think you will get into Ivy league if you attend Regis. You probably will not, as the 7th grader points out with his comments on getting 80's. It's a great experience for many, but it's not for eveyone. Read less
