Regent is an academically challenging school and is always in the top three schools for ACT scores. The students are offered the chance to play multiple sports, study interesting coursework, and be loved by an amazing group of teachers.

Overall, Regent provides subpar education. Most days students do not have homework. In high school, students still have recess. They also lack basic technological necessities. Meaning, most high schools have Crome books in 6th grade. Regent does not issue them until their Junior year because of trust issues. Most students that graduate from Regent go to small colleges in Arkansas. Some Seniors have had to take summer classes at other schools just to be able to improve their education for college. Overall, Tulsa has plenty of other private schools with much better education.

We thank God daily that we stumbled upon Regent. While it has been a struggle at times to keep up with the academically accelerated pace, we love that our kids have genuine relationships with teachers, administrators and parents who form a real community dedicated to the intellectual, spiritual, and character development of students.

We could not be more pleased and feel we are getting a great value for our investment. Our children look forward to school, have countless friends, love their teachers, receive a stellar education, and are surrounded by a community of like-minded families who we trust to provide positive examples of productive, faithful, successful, and loving Christian homes.

It's unfortunate that the two reviews posted do not give an accurate picture of the school. I have children at Regent, and while all schools have their issues, Regent's foundation, biblical teachings, and beliefs have assisted in rooting my kids in their relationship with the Lord. In addition, my kids have excelled academically and have been recognized with awards by the state. Regarding the one comment about the economic status, I disagree wholeheartedly. I do not fit in the category described, yet, my closest friends own multiple homes and are the most humble people I know. Lastly, while all kids should be welcoming, sometimes the child claiming cliques is not an easy one to befriend. In a small school, that will make it difficult to find a group. As with any school, and any parent group, people gravitate towards one another. The family of Regent is one of a kind. I would definitely attend an open house before making any decisions off the disgruntled parent reviews.

Our child attended Regent for three years. During that time there were significant changes in the school moving to a sports atmosphere rather than a classic arts school like when our child started. The classical education model is wonderful, but some of the teachers are very legalistic to the point of harming students. The student population is also made up of very wealthy families, and cliques within the parent community are not only impenetrable, but also trickle down to the students as well. There are positive aspects to this school, but we moved our child, and it was a positive move for our family. When we started, the education as Regent was exactly what we wanted for our child; although some of those core values still exist, overall, we left finding it a myopic slice socioeconomically, educationally, and socially; undoubtedly, that is not what the real world is like.

Our daughter transferred from another school to this one as we thought it to be a better fit with our beliefs, goals for our children, and our parenting style. The school is very hands-on, individualizes several aspects of the daily work and homework. While highly structured, creativity and individuality within the context of Christianity is strongly encouraged.Our daughter loves it!She has much more responsibility at Regent, where she is expected to be a student, and play during breaks, as opposed with trying to work a little learning into playtime. If it sounds harsh ("children should play, right?'), realize that in the earliest grades, they only have classes three half-days or two full-days per week. I was a little hesitant about this schedule at first, but it's working out just great. She is learning material at a much faster than at her previous school. Additionally, the Regent program starts in pre-K with teaching children to discuss and present topics, which ultimately results in later years with a child that is much more confident giving speeches, leading debates, etc.Our daughter really looks forward to school. Overall, we just couldn't be more pleased.
