The Regis School of the Sacred Heart: Why Choose a Boys School?

At Regis, it’s our vision to meet the needs of our students through the Goals of Sacred Heart education and in a unique all-boys environment. A growing body of research shows that boys learn and develop differently from girls and that single-gender programs are more educationally effective for boys than coeducational ones. Starting in Pre-K3 through eighth grade, we have embraced the benefits of all-boy schools to create the best private school for boys in Houston, Texas.
From major decisions about the design and operation of the school to small everyday details of running a classroom—our focus is always on what is best for boys. Boys can be sportsmen, academics, hard workers, or a combination of all three. Regardless of their path, Regis empowers boys to become scholars and gentlemen and, ultimately, men of character.
Below are reasons why Regis’ approach to an all-boys education is unparalleled and designed to inspire the love of learning, prepare them for the future, and create confident, compassionate leaders.

Lessons Focus on How Boys Learn Best
Research has shown that boys learn differently than girls. A school catering specifically to boys recognizes that young men have unique needs. For example, Regis teachers understand that the students need frequent movement and a hands-on approach. Our teachers continue to be trained in the best ways to meet the needs of young men, with Regis faculty and staff completing more than 1200 collective hours of professional development last year.

Boys Can Avoid Stereotypical Social Pressure
In a boys’ school, students are allowed to mature at an appropriate pace. Regis boys can just “be boys” and develop individually. Each student has the freedom to showcase his unique personality and interests, all while gaining confidence and building character.

Co-Curricular Options Provide Non-Traditional Experiences
Boys are exposed to activities that break down society’s stereotypes. Programs in a boys’ school nurture all areas of talent for young men. At Regis, students participate in art, athletics, clubs, and other co-curricular activities that allow them to try new experiences in a safe environment. Regis’ co-curricular programming promotes personal growth for students and enables them to explore individual interests or be part of a team as they play, serve, and challenge themselves.

Boys Learn Appropriate Social Skills
Teachers of boys understand the need to emphasize effective communication skills. Male faculty members provide models of appropriate behavior for our students. As a result, the young men of Regis learn to be gentlemen as well as scholars. Graduates of Regis attribute their ability to advocate for themselves in high school and beyond to their time at Regis.

A Strong Sense of Camaraderie
Young men in a boys' school form strong bonds with their peers. In addition, multi-age level activities build a sense of community. This creates a foundation for Regis boys to forge life-long friendships beyond the classroom. The Big Brother, Little Brother program, as well as the Houses of Regis program, create friendships that last well beyond a student's time at Regis.
