Already at the forefront of single-gender education, Regis Jesuit is now positioned to further set its students apart in their development as empowered, values-centered leaders.
Inside the classroom, single-gender instruction emboldens young men and women to reach their full potential. Students can focus on their academics and learn to express themselves confidently across the disciplines. Our faculty can nimbly recognize the learning needs and styles of our young men and young women, and many of our teachers say they gain valuable insights when they teach in both the Boys and Girls Divisions.
By collaborating outside the classroom, our students acquire the social skills, empathy, resilience and self-awareness needed for college and beyond, making lifelong friends along the way.
Our innovative educational model ensures that all our students have equal opportunities to discover and enhance their unique, God-given gifts and pursue excellence.

Stories that Inspire
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, FOR GIRLS AND FOR BOYS
Is it possible to talk about single-gender education and avoid what Karen Wuertz calls “wading into the dangerous waters of stereotype”?
When Christina Canino Troska ’14 got to Colorado State University, she was bored within four weeks. In search of greater challenge, she got herself accepted into the engineering program. Between her junior and senior undergraduate years, she landed a yearlong co-op at a brewery, then found her way to law school at CU Boulder, where she’s now in her second year. She plans to specialize in intellectual property law.
KATHERINE LEAFFER ’22: MAKING MENTAL HEALTH A STUDENT PRIORITY
Katherine Leaffer ’22 has more than just a big idea. She has a concrete plan; she has allies; and she has the wisdom that only can come from personal experience.
With the participation and support of fellow students and school administration, Leaffer is helping create an environment where more girls and boys at Regis Jesuit are willing to seek mental health support when they need it.
Students are trained in programs like the Blue Bench and Sources of Strength (SOS) aimed at building student emotional intelligence and resilience. More than 65 students and nearly 20 faculty and staff members were trained as SOS leaders during the 2021-22 school year.
Increased Therapist Resources
We more than doubled our capacity to provide social/emotional therapy for students by increasing from one part-time to two full-time therapists starting during the 2021-22 school year.
Expanded Learning Services Support
To meet the growing demand and ensure the success of our students with learning differences, we reconfigured our support structure in the 2021-22 school year.
Expanded STEAM Opportunities for Female Students
During the 2021-22 school year, expanded our co-curricular opportunities in STEAM for young women.
Developed Healthy Tech Habit Curricula
At the start of the 2021-22 school year, included lessons for RaiderQuest and RJ101 (programs for incoming students) on healthy tech habits and offered complementary training for parents to support these habits.
Partnered with Free Mental Health Coordination Service
In October 2022, announced our partnership with Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential service available to all RJ students and staff as well as their families to match those looking for help with mental health or substance abuse to community partners quickly.
