Why Regina Dominican?

A place where she can dream big and achieve more.

As experts in girls’ education, we are passionate about educating and empowering young women to be independent thinkers, relentless truth-seekers, and confident and compassionate leaders.

One of the best kept secrets on the North Shore, Regina Dominican is a premier independent girls’ high school built on Dominican values that can offer your daughter so much more than challenging academics.

Here are seven reasons why Regina Dominican could be the ideal choice for your daughter.

The number one thing our students love about Regina Dominican is the warm, welcoming, and supportive environment. We open our arms to students and families of all faiths and backgrounds. From the day she first walks into our school to experience our Shadow Days, she will be amazed at how openly she is welcomed by everyone in the building. The faculty, staff, fellow students, and even alumnae stand by her side. With that kind of support and attention, we give her the ability to explore in a safe place, so that her ambition has no bounds.

St. Dominic was known for his joyful attitude, which inspires us. There are so many roads to take on a life journey and we are driven to offer a happier, healthier path. We work hard to provide a joyful and fun learning environment, including plenty of social activities outside of the classroom setting to meet new friends and have fun.

Not only do we offer a challenging academic curriculum, but every student follows an academic path tailored to her individual strengths. We challenge our students academically with programs like Allworth Scholars, Byrne Pathway, and the Leadership Institute. We meet them where they are in terms of skills, goals, and support. Our size allows us to be flexible, nimble, and most importantly customized to what your student needs. There’s no need for your daughter to fight for attention. With a more personal learning experience, we help her to achieve her highest academic potential.

And, our personalized academics model works. We can make a real, measurable impact on your student’s growth. From Freshman to Senior year, Regina Dominican students demonstrated on average a 17% increase in their national percentile rank academically. They also experience tremendous growth emotionally, and socially as evidenced by our student involvement data, and the Five Essentials Survey.

We extend that personalization to our college placement program as well, with our unique, in-depth college exploration, application, and placement process. Whether your student is interested in STEM, Fine Arts, Communications, or Business, we guide and advocate for her to move on to the perfect spot for her to grow and thrive. We know it’s successful because our 2023 graduates were accepted to 144 different colleges and Universities and earned $13,120,200 in scholarships. 

At Regina Dominican, we’ve removed barriers limiting opportunities, so your daughter can explore her interests and grow. Regina girls don’t sit still. We have a broad array of programs, academic and extracurricular, so whether she wants to try something new or continue to explore an interest she already loves, she is welcome to do so here. While 37% of our students choose to pursue STEM majors in college, Regina students are equally as passionate about the arts, pursuing their passions in dance, art, writing, and theater.
