Regis Jesuit High School

What Regis Jesuit High School does

Regis High School is a tuition-free, merit-based Catholic Jesuit college preparatory institution for young men, founded in 1914 and located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at 55 East 84th Street, New York. The school serves Catholic young men from the New York metropolitan area through a selective admissions process, with all admitted students receiving full merit scholarships regardless of financial circumstances. Students commute from 219 zip codes, and 52% are sons of immigrants. Academic outcomes are strong, with 69 National Merit Scholarship finalists from 2022-2025 and 28% of graduates from the same period attending top 20 universities.

The school's academic program spans Computer Science, English, History, Language, Mathematics, Science, and Theology, supported by a Moodle-based e-learning platform that enables remote instruction and collaborative learning. Cocurricular offerings include athletics (Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Soccer, Tennis, Track & Cross Country, Ultimate, Volleyball), performance arts, and an extensive service program that logged 37,500 hours during the 2024-25 school year across 60+ service sites. The REACH program extends Jesuit formation to students at partner Jesuit middle schools, creating a feeder pipeline. Global education partnerships span five continents through cultural exchanges (Berlin, Madrid, Paris, Nanjing) and service immersion programs (Jamaica, Kenya, Ecuador, the Arizona border, Rome, Malaysia). The campus includes sustainability infrastructure such as a 22,000 sq ft green roof with a 22 kW solar array and a complete LED lighting retrofit covering more than 2,500 fixtures, earning a 2013 NOVA Award.

The business model is donation-funded rather than tuition-driven. With 100% of students on full merit scholarship, Regis relies on charitable contributions from alumni, families, and friends, plus fundraising events such as the annual Parents' Club Auction (which generated $660,000 gross in 2013). The multi-year "Ready to Do" capital campaign raised more than $84 million. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees chaired by Anthony DiNovi '80, led by President Rev. Christopher Devron, SJ (25th President, installed August 2022) and Principal Charlie Heintz (since April 2022). Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees.
