PACE - Parents Annual Campaign for Excellence
WHY PACE?
St. Ignatius instructed the early Jesuits to teach without charge and find patrons to help support the schools. Today, we honor this spirit by discounting tuition. We then ask current parents to participate in PACE.
2010-2011 NUMBERS
True cost of a Regis Jesuit education: $11,741
Tuition charged: $10,375
Gap between true cost and tuition charged: $1,366
VALUE of a Regis Jesuit education: PRICELESS
How can we charge less for tuition that we need?
We know the power of the RJ community. We have faith that you will help us to be fiscally responsible in making up the difference. Our hearts and spirits are always glad to know this is how we keep costs down and help more students obtain an amazing Regis Jesuit education.
Now you know that giving to PACE is truly the most meaningful way you can enrich your child's Regis Jesuit experience.
PARENT TESTIMONIALS
"Our family has had the privilege of being connected with Regis Jesuit for the last nine years, having had three sons graduate from Regis Jesuit High School and a daughter and son currently enrolled. Although our children are very different from each other, they have all LOVED the school. That is because there is ‘room’ for everyone at Regis Jesuit due to its contagious atmosphere of encouragement and goodwill. The Jesuit philosophy of educating the whole person is alive and working well at the school. The staff and faculty are dedicated people who are attentive to the mission of exhorting our young people to be Men and Women with and for Others. This is accomplished in the classroom, on retreats, on the sports fields, in clubs and in the hallways."
Participating in the PACE program allows parents to give back to this vibrant, educational community with a resounding 'Yes!' to all that our school does for our children. Rather than increasing tuition, we all get to pitch in a little in a concrete way through the PACE campaign. Parent participation through PACE removes the burden of yearly fundraising and shows our support for the mission of academic excellence, fostering faith and commitment to service and justice.

"The Regis Jesuit High School experience transformed our children into young adults who are intellectually competent, religious, loving, committed to doing justice and open to growth. The learning environment stresses high academic and personal achievement through small class sizes and a focus on the individual student. Our kids have embraced single gender classes, allowing them to be comfortable expressing themselves to their friends, their teachers and their peers. Our children have been influenced and enriched by a Jesuit education, which focuses on the full person, including their spiritual growth, breaking off from a traditional, purely academic classroom. Through their experience in the school, our children have truly become Men and Women with and for Others. We, as parents, feel blessed to have been able to allow our children the opportunity to attend Regis Jesuit!"
