One of the benefits of our Classical Homeschool Hybrid™ model is that students receive a transcript from an accredited institution. REGINA CAELI® is fully accredited by the National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools (NAPCIS) and the National Independent Study Accreditation Council (NISAC). We take pride in our accreditations, as these agencies have confirmed that our curriculum, resources, and programs meet their high standards of educational excellence. Our accreditation and transcripts streamline record-keeping for homeschool families, enhancing the credibility of students' studies.

Our Classical Homeschool Hybrid™ program offers the best of both worlds! Parents and tutors collaborate each week to implement thoughtfully integrated lesson plans provided by Regina Caeli. Students spend three days learning at home and two in a classroom environment at the center. This setup maximizes the benefits of meaningful family time and instruction while also allowing students to enjoy learning alongside like-minded peers in a classroom for two days each week. Families are recognized as the primary educators and receive support from our trained tutors, who facilitate the lessons in the classroom. Our tutors not only grade tests and papers but also maintain online grade books that are accessible to parents, in addition to providing report cards. Our Classical Homeschool Hybrid™ approach honors a strong Catholic family life and fosters a virtuous Catholic culture for students as they learn at the center.

No. REGINA CAELI® does not offer sports or clubs because we are not a traditional school but rather a homeschool hybrid program. As homeschoolers, our families participate in a variety of activities through their communities' local homeschool offerings, including sports, dance, music, 4-H, youth groups, debate, and more.

You decide! You will implement the lesson plans provided for home days to offer individual support to your students and prepare them for classes on Mondays and Thursdays. Home days are designed to maximize quality time with parents, allowing for activities such as reading literature, memorizing material, and writing papers, among others. As students grow older, they become more independent, learning to read the syllabus and complete assignments with their parents' guidance. This process helps students take ownership of their education, while parents appreciate the accountability provided by the due dates and deadlines established by REGINA CAELI®. Additionally, parents can set up a home consultation support call to help with structuring their days at home. This service is included with the family’s tuition.

Yes! REGINA CAELI® is a non-profit 501(c)(3) religious organization founded in 2003. We operate over 20 centers across the United States and have one affiliate in the UK. As a national organization, we are not under the jurisdiction of a particular bishop or diocese; however, REGINA CAELI® is committed to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. All staff and tutors sign an oath of fidelity to the Holy Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church.

No. REGINA CAELI® center days are screen-free. We prioritize thoughtful discussions that foster meaningful interactions and enriching learning experiences. Classroom discussions are designated as a time to engage with the truth, goodness, and beauty inherent in our classical curriculum. This dynamic exchange of ideas nurtures deeper understanding and personal growth, ensuring that every student fully participates in their classroom experience on center days. Additionally, our Media Standards protect the rights of parents to introduce their children to popular media at the appropriate time. We refrain from discussions of popular media such as TV or YouTube series, movies, music, video games and social media trends at our centers. All engagement with media topics and screen time fall to the oversight of the parent.

On center days, all students and RCA tutors gather as a community, as well as for grade-level classes. Prayer forms the backbone of our daily routine, starting with morning prayers, the noon Angelus, table blessings, and concluding prayers. Students participate in classes with their peers, actively engaging with the material through discussions, projects, presentations, and poetry recitations. REGINA CAELI® designs our lesson plans to ensure that children engage in activities on center days that are most appropriate for a classroom setting. Students enjoy participating in activities across all core subjects, including science projects and experiments, discussions in history and literature, math problems on the board, oral presentations, physical education games, and plenty of recess fun! To meet our accreditation requirements, all testing is conducted at the center on a center day. All subject material on center days is completed during the center day so you can reclaim your family life in the evenings.

If an offer of enrollment is extended, you must complete and submit an enrollment packet for your child to be officially enrolled at REGINA CAELI®. Within the enrollment packet, you will sign an enrollment contract that outlines the tuition and fees, as well as the associated conditions.

REGINA CAELI® offers need-based tuition assistance to families. Please see ourTuition Assistance Guidelines for more information. Families can apply online: Request for Tuition Assistance. Please select Regina Caeli in Norcross, GA, as the school, regardless of your location.

Yes, if a class is full, we have wait pools for classes that are at capacity. A student is placed in a wait pool if, after the family interview, we decide that we would like to offer enrollment but do not currently have an available spot for your student. You will receive an email informing you that we would like to place your child in the wait pool, in the hope that a spot will become available in the future. If a seat becomes available, the administrator will contact you to see if you are still interested in enrolling your child. If so, an enrollment notification will be sent to complete the process. For more information, please contact admissions@rcahybrid.org.

Books and uniforms are not included in the tuition and composite fees (which cover supply and activity costs).

Your high school student's application to REGINA CAELI® will require a PDF of their official transcript. To request an official transcript from your student’s previous institution, please contact the school's main office and provide them with the registrar's email address (registrar@rcahybrid.org) or the REGINA CAELI® Corporate Office address. Electronic submission is preferred.

Yes, we administer placement tests in mathematics and language arts to ensure that students are assigned to classes that are both challenging enough to promote their growth in understanding and appropriate for their skill levels.

The per-student composite fee includes technology for our staff and parents (FACTS, Parent Square), on-campus supplies (such as science materials, art supplies, readers, etc.), activities, and special events. Each family also receives one yearbook.

We require students to be 3 years old to enroll in the PreK3 class. Ideally, a student should be 3 years old at the start of the academic year.

Homeschool hybrid education is structured while still allowing the flexibility that many homeschooling families desire. We operate on a 32-week academic calendar, which includes week-long breaks for family time with no assigned work! These breaks provide excellent travel opportunities. If a spontaneous travel opportunity arises, your family can adjust by completing lessons in advance or while you are away. Instruction at the center will continue as scheduled. Therefore, families must coordinate in advance with Regina Caeli to make up any missed tests at the center on the day the student returns.

Our comprehensive classical curriculum spans grades PreK3 through 12th grade. The required student book list per class and grade level is available here.

REGINA CAELI aims to provide classrooms with focused instruction in classical education and maintain a small tutor-to-student ratio. This ratio varies by age, with a ratio of 1:3 for our youngest students and approximately 1:15 for our older students.

If your student is offered enrollment, you will receive a notification when your child’s enrollment packet is ready to complete. We kindly ask that you return your child’s packet at your earliest convenience so we can secure your child’s spot on the class roster.

We are open to all families who desire the curriculum and Catholic culture as presented at REGINA CAELI®. The teachings of the Catholic Church are upheld in every classroom, and the Catholic culture of our centers offers each student the opportunity to experience the beauty and richness of the Catholic Faith. REGINA CAELI® parents are committed to completing lesson plans outlined for home days, ensuring that students are well-prepared for their classroom participation on center days. Our family interview process allows parents to ask questions and prayerfully determine if REGINA CAELI® is the right fit for their children.

Since we are a support system for homeschooled families rather than a traditional school, we cannot directly honor IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) or 504 plans. After consulting with the family, we strive to provide reasonable accommodations that address the needs of both the student and the family. The small classroom environment on center days, combined with individualized support from the parent during the three homeschool days, can effectively serve as a tailored Individual Education Plan. Please note that our staff is trained to implement classical educational approaches and methodologies; however, they are not special education teachers. Additionally, we are not equipped to address serious behavioral issues. REGINA CAELI® strives to support families and staff, ensuring each student gains the maximum benefit from our classical curriculum. We interview each family, allowing the opportunity to share any diagnosed conditions or concerns related to your child's learning. This information will help us determine if REGINA CAELI® can provide the support you seek for your child and homeschooling experience.

No. Our Classical Homeschool Hybrid™ program offers an accredited five-day-a-week curriculum, with each day designed to be interconnected. Our thoughtfully designed curriculum progressively develops across subjects from PreK3 to 12th grade. Our families are dedicated to homeschooling within a community, with REGINA CAELI® supporting this through its curriculum, lesson plans, and trained tutors who provide a classroom experience two days a week. All families agree to follow the policies outlined in our Handbook, which fosters unity and recognizes parents as the primary educators of their children. The commitment of time and shared experiences helps nurture strong friendships and bonds among our families, both locally and nationally.

No. REGINA CAELI® is a non-profit 501(c)(3) religious organization that has been supporting homeschool families for over 20 years. It provides an accredited, classical curriculum and lesson plans rooted in the Catholic tradition. Families remain the primary educators of their children, following their state’s homeschool laws while receiving support from REGINA CAELI®.

The local administrator will schedule a family interview. Since our Classical Homeschool Hybrid™ approach requires close collaboration, we ask that both parents and all prospective students attend this meeting. During the interview, we will learn about your students, their needs, and your goals and expectations for them. We will also answer any questions you may have regarding our Family Handbook. This meeting will help everyone determine if our Classical Homeschool Hybrid™ program is a good fit for your family. After the meeting, we will email you an admissions decision.

As part of our accreditation requirements and to support our families, we partner with the Classical Learning Test (CLT) to provide our 3rd- to 11th-grade students with one official CLT exam each year, along with a practice exam. RCA’s 12th-grade students are not required to take the CLT but have the option to do so in the fall. The CLT fulfills the standardized testing requirement for many states' homeschool laws; however, we recommend that our families verify the specific requirements applicable to their location by checking hslda.com. Even if your state does not require standardized testing, these assessments can help families identify their students' strengths and weaknesses.

This is dependent on the state. In most states where families are allowed to use ESA funds to cover homeschooling expenses, the funds can be used to pay Regina Caeli. We are currently set up as a vendor in AZ, FL, LA, and NH, but are not considered a school. Please contact admissions@rcahybrid.org with questions about school education choice programs.
