Curriculum
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 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 9 to 12.
In the Grammar stage (K - 6) Regents students are taught the building blocks for future subjects, includinginclude phonics, Latin, grammar, and math facts.
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.
The school uses a mentoring program called THRIVE to emphasize a "thriving" rather than a "surviving" relationship between teachers and students.
History
Regents was founded in 1992 by parents. It originally met at Park Hills Baptist Church before moving to Tarrytown Baptist Church. Regents spent many years meeting in portable buildings in the parking lot at Tarrytown Baptist before moving to a permanent campus in 1998. Regents had its first graduating class in the year 2000, consisting of two students.
