Beyond the Classroom
Student and adult members of the community grow in courage and confidence as they discover new abilities, cultivate strengths, learn from mistakes, develop empathy and exercise resilience in meeting challenges.”
Goal V, Criterion 1
The Regis School of the Sacred Heart develops scholars and gentlemen by cultivating students as learners well beyond the walls of the classroom.
Regis students have many age-appropriate opportunities for educational and personal growth outside of the classroom.
These offerings allow the boys a chance to learn together in a less structured environment. Unique events, such as field trips and social awareness projects allow the students guided freedom to expand their learning in new and different settings.

Network Service Projects
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grade Overnight Trips
Social Awareness Days
Middle School
students meet daily in small groups with an assigned Advisor. Students typically remain in the same Advisory group throughout their Middle School grades. This scheduled time allows Advisors a way to regularly check in with their students and talk with them about any pressing issues in their lives. Advisory time also includes a focus on the Regis Scholars and Gentlemen programming. The Regis Scholars and Gentlemen program includes:
Study Skills
Small group tutorials
Character education
Study hall
The Regis Middle School Advisory program aims to help and guide these young men as they learn to live out the Sacred Heart
Goals
that are at the foundation of a Sacred Heart education.
Regis Lower and Middle School students embark on age-appropriate field trips during the school year. Often these field trips reinforce topics learned in their
curriculum
, and, of course, offer a fun way to learn outside the classroom. Past destinations have included Bayou Bend, Oil Ranch, Houston Zoo, and The Health Museum.
As a member of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, The Regis School of the Sacred Heart participates in an Exchange Program that allows qualifying eighth grade students to attend other Sacred Heart schools for one week. This opportunity complements the education received at Regis and allows students to experience firsthand the breadth of Sacred Heart education. This program is meant for the student who has demonstrated a consistently sound academic performance and positive social behavior during his time at Regis. Interested students will complete an application and submit it to the Dean of Students who will begin the exchange process. Members of the administration will review the application, the student’s academics and faculty evaluations in making the decision whether or not he will participate in the exchange program.
Rooted in the Goals and Criteria with an emphasis on Goal III,
Network Summer Service Projects
provide students with immersive learning experiences that deepen their understanding of service to others and the importance of practicing mutual respect. These unique projects have been forming students for over 30 years and are an example of the strength of our larger Sacred Heart community.
The Regis sixth grade class trip is an overnight activity over two days including visits to areas of historical interest in Texas. Past year trips have included visits to Washington on the Brazos, Huntsville State Park, and the HEARTS Veterans Museum.
After a yearlong study of Texas history, our seventh grade students embark on a two night trip with a more in-depth look at many important Texas historic sites, including visits to San Antonio and the surrounding historic missions, the Texas State Capitol in Austin, and others.
The eighth grade class wraps up their studies of U.S. History with a trip to Washington DC to visit the nation’s Capital. This three night trip includes visits to many museums, monuments and statues of historical and political interest, and even time in the outdoors with a hike in the Shenandoah National Park.
All these faculty-chaperoned trips give students a chance to learn more about the larger world around us, to deepen their personal relationships, and to enjoy new experiences. These trips are excellent opportunities to live out Sacred Heart

Goal V

All Regis students (Pre-K3 through eighth grade) and faculty participate in two dedicated
social awareness
days each school year. The fall event is focused on helping others in our community while the spring event is committed to helping the environment. Third through eighth grade students travel throughout Houston to participate in off-campus activities. All students engage in meaningful, age-appropriate activities to help increase their awareness and understanding of the great needs around us as they live out Sacred Heart
Goal III
(
a social awareness that impels to action
).
Regis Middle School has a House system designed to channel boys' energy into constructive outlets where they partake in physical and academic competitions such as relay races, name that tune music competitions, Highland games strength contests, art contests and more. Through the House system, students learn to take pride in their school and in each other. They share their wide variety of skills and gifts with each other and learn to support their fellow House members as they pursue a common goal.
There are four Houses: Armor, Helmet, Shield and Sword. Each Middle School student is a member of the same House from fifth through eighth grade.
Three faculty Chamberlains are assigned to each House. Within each House, specific grade levels focus on a particular life skill each year, allowing them to grow and learn.
