Tuition Dear Parents, You have an important financial decision to make for your family. You must decide how to finance your child’s tuition at Regina High School . In order to help you make this decision, I offer you important information about how to afford this investment for your daughter. What is the lifetime value my child will receive from an education at Regina High School ? Survey research indicates that graduates of Catholic high schools are more likely to complete college and, on average, they earn more money than students who don’t attend a Catholic high school. A higher percentage of Catholics who attend Catholic high schools report that they continue to practice the faith. Superior education positions your child for a lifetime of opportunity. Last year our graduating senior class received a total of $3.5 million in college scholarships. Caring and supportive learning environments enhance your child’s self-esteem. The value of having your child supported by the dynamic community that exists at Regina High School is beyond measure. The single-gender environment provides a unique opportunity for young women to gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. They are free to pursue academic challenges and roles of leadership without the additional social pressures of a mixed-gender classroom. You understand these values, but you may need a plan to finance your child’s ability to experience them at Regina High School .
