We are a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory high school serving more than 1700 young men and women in grades 9-12 in becoming Men and Women with and for Others.
With nearly 150 years of history behind us, we are a Roman Catholic educational community rooted firmly in the nearly 500-year-old model of Jesuit education, leading the way in preparing students for the 21st century.
Our unique educational model combines the advantages of single-sex instruction with opportunities for young men and women to collaborate, serve, pray and socialize together to form the whole person—mind, body and spirit.
The strength of Regis Jesuit is found in the depth and diversity of its broad community of students, parents and alumni who strengthen and share their gifts through a lifelong Raider experience.
The transformational student experience has been developed thanks to a long tradition of generous philanthropic support of our enduring educational mission.
There are multiple opportunities offered throughout the school year to praise, worship and thank God through engagement in the Sacraments, liturgies, prayer and retreats.

Worship & Prayer
List of 7 items.
Masses
The Mass is the central liturgical ritual in the Roman Catholic Church where the bread and wine are consecrated and become the body and blood of Christ. It is a key formational experience in the faith life of the school, so Masses are offered daily and celebrated specifically for classes, groups and the entire community regularly throughout the school year.

Retreats
The Retreat Program at Regis Jesuit operates on a comprehensive four-year track designed to allow students to explore their faith through different lenses and develop an authentic relationship with God. Along the way, students also grow closer to each other and come to understand that they are fully and completely loved. Kairos, a four-day retreat during a student's junior year, is patterned after the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. The retreat is regularly cited by parents and students alike as the most memorable experience of their time at Regis Jesuit. Learn more
Prayer Life
In addition to Masses, Regis Jesuit High School offers students and staff a variety of communal prayer experiences based in and inspired by scripture and other theological texts. We pray together as a community four times a day. In addition, we offer regular opportunities to pray the Rosary, for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and for Ignatian meditation.
Reconciliation
There are opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation several times during the school year. Students can receive this sacrament on class-level retreats, during the liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent and by appointment with one of the Jesuit priests.
Examen of Conciousness
Steeped in Ignatian spirituality, Regis Jesuit High School invites all community members to practice the Examen of Consciousness daily. At a designated time each day, all work and activities stop so that everyone can be prompted to reflect on the following three questions:
How has God been actively present in my life?
How have I responded to God’s presence in my life?
How do I wish to respond to God’s loving presence from this point on?
Christian Initiation of Teenagers
Regis Jesuit provides the Order for Christian Initiation for Teens (OCIT) program for RJ students interested in formally joining the Catholic Church. This includes receiving the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation) or those Sacraments of Initiation they may have not yet completed. For those preparing for Baptism, the journey is a year-long process consisting of monthly formation meetings culminating in a formal welcome into the Catholic Church in the spring at an Easter Vigil at a local parish.
In addition to the spiritual formation of our students, Regis Jesuit also devotes resources to forming members of our adult community, especially faculty, staff, coaches and parents. We provide multiple opportunities for prayer, reflection, retreat and liturgy through an Ignatian lens throughout the school year to help uplift and enrich the faith lives and understanding of this critical group.
