About Regents
The Regents curriculum is loosely based on a classical education model called the Trivium. The Trivium is composed of three stages: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. Each stage in the trivium supposedly corresponds to a stage in child development. Grammar-School comprises kindergarten through 6th grade. School of Logic is grades 7 and 8. School of Rhetoric is grades is 9 to 12. Tuition is $7,750 - $12,375.[1] Tuition assistance may be considered for some.
Regents curriculum
In the Grammar stage (K - 6) Regents students are taught the building blocks for future subjects. These building blocks include phonics, Latin, grammar, math facts and other basics.
In the Logic stage(grades 7 & 8), when a child would naturally become more argumentative, Regents students learn Formal Logic.
In the final stage, Rhetoric (grades 9-12), students learn Classical Rhetoric.

Coached by Beck Brydon, the football team won its fourth state championship in 2006 in 4A. Regents has since moved down to 3A due to TAPPS' decision to realign the divisions.
