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. Regina Dominican is a premier independent girls’ high school built on Dominican values that can offer your daughter so much more than challenging academics.

Why Regina Dominican could be the ideal choice for your daughter:

A Joyful, Welcoming Environment

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.

Academic Excellence, Designed for Her

Every student follows an academic path tailored to her individual strengths. 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. With unique academically challenging programs like Allworth Scholars, Byrne Pathway, and the Leadership Institute, we help her to achieve her highest academic potential.

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. We guide and advocate for her to move on to the perfect spot for her to grow and thrive, and we know it’s successful because our 2024 graduates were accepted to 146 different colleges and Universities and earned $17.9M in scholarships.

Opportunities to Learn, Lead, Serve, Explore and Connect

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 she can try something new or continue to explore an interest she already loves. While 42% of our students will pursue STEM majors in college, Regina students are equally as passionate about the arts, pursuing their passions in dance, art, writing, and theater. There is so much to explore.

Future Female Leaders Here

The world needs more female leaders. We uniquely developed the Leadership Institute as a resource center with specific programming for students to discover their voices, find their passions, and acquire, practice, apply and master the leadership skills critical for the next generation of female leaders.

As mentors the Regina Dominican Alumnae offer strong support. We tap into our impressive Regina Dominican alumni of doctors, lawyers, nurses, artists, teachers, authors, chefs, politicians, engineers, dancers, and architects to help guide our students in their developing leadership skills.

Meaningful Connections

“Regina Dominican is where all of my favorite people are.” From the moment your daughter meets someone new, to reconnecting again later in life, she will make lifelong friends at Regina Dominican. Starting with her Shadow Day, she’ll feel seen and appreciated. She’ll meet her new best friends at the Freshman Retreat, so she’ll have someone to sit with at lunch on Day One. And, with our sports teams, clubs and programs, and 100% student involvement in at least one activity, she has a wide variety of opportunities to participate, make friends and build meaningful relationships with students, coaches, teachers, and staff.

Educating Minds, Strengthening Hearts

Our Dominican values are the foundation upon which we build our environment, programs, opportunities, and challenges for our students to become their best selves. Our students exemplify values represented by the Crown, the Star, and the Book, symbolizing empathy and service, a pursuit of truth, justice, and acceptance, as well as a pursuit of academic excellence and scholarship. The end result is Regina Dominican girls grow to be independent thinkers, relentless truth seekers and most importantly confident, compassionate, impactful leaders.
