Regis Catholic Schools

What Regis Catholic Schools does

Regis Catholic Schools is a unified, nonprofit PreK-12 Catholic school system operating seven schools across Eau Claire and Altoona, Wisconsin, under the Diocese of La Crosse. Founded in 1940, the system comprises two child development centers (Regis and Genesis), three elementary schools (Immaculate Conception, St. James, St. Mary's), one middle school, and one high school, all governed from a single central office at 2728 Mall Drive, Eau Claire. Regis serves families of all faiths seeking Catholic, Christ-centered education, with the student body united by five Core Values — Faith, Responsibility, Teamwork, Excellence, and Leadership. The school is accredited through the Diocese of La Crosse Education Commission and offers differentiated programs including Campus Ministry (grades 6-12), Service Learning (10 hours/year middle school, 25 hours/year high school), Regis Ramblers athletics (grades 5-12), dual credit courses through Viterbo University, UW-Stout, and CVTC, and a dedicated Academic & Career Planning Coordinator/Registrar.

The technology stack is built entirely on third-party educational SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems: Skyward handles student information, FACTS Management handles tuition and billing, Clever and Microsoft My Apps provide single sign-on, STAR Reading & Math provides assessment, enVision Math and HMH Science Dimensions provide curriculum, Parchment handles transcript ordering, ShopWithScrip.com powers the Scrip gift-card fundraising program, DonorPerfect manages donations, Kaltura (via CESA 10) provides live streaming, and Constant Contact handles email newsletters. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or research pipeline is indicated.

The business model is a nonprofit tuition-and-donation hybrid typical of diocesan Catholic school systems. Revenue streams include family tuition (primary), approximately 15% from six supporting Eau Claire Area Deanery parishes (Immaculate Conception, St. James the Greater, St. Olaf, Sacred Heart of Jesus-St. Patrick, The Newman Parish, St. Mary's), a $250 annual family fee that families can offset through the Scrip gift-card fundraising program (the system's largest ongoing fundraiser), USDA National School Meal Program participation, Booster Club sponsorships (starting at $25), Regis Catholic Schools Foundation donations, and the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program state voucher for income-eligible families. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via website enrollment, the Central Office, parish referrals, and tour/shadow days. Strategic direction is set by Vision 2030, a five-year plan developed in 2023 with Arcadia Education, which has triggered an executive leadership overhaul including a newly created Chief Learning Officer role.

Revenue model

1. Tuition: Families pay tuition to enroll students in the school system. Tuition rates vary by grade level and program. Financial assistance is available through the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (state voucher), tuition assistance programs, and the Scrip program.
2. Scrip Fundraising Program: Families and supporters purchase gift cards through the Scrip program. Regis purchases cards at a discounted rate from vendors and sells at full face value. Families receive 50% of the profit toward their annual family fee ($250), with the school retaining the other 50%. This is the largest ongoing fundraiser for the system.
3. Annual Family Fee: Each family is responsible for a $250 annual family fee. This can be offset through Scrip program earnings, which many families use to satisfy this obligation without additional out-of-pocket expense.
4. Supporting Parish Donations: Six parishes in the Eau Claire Area Deanery provide financial support for the Regis Catholic Schools system. Approximately 15% of system revenue comes from supporting parish donations.
5. Regis Booster Club Sponsorships: The Booster Club raises funds through program sponsorships for athletics, music, co-curricular activities, and special events. Sponsorship levels start at $25 with acknowledgment in sports programs at home events.
