As with anything worthwhile, there is a need for careful planning. We are currently looking for mission-fit families interested in joining us for the 2025 school year.

While we are still working to nail down the perfect location, Regina Caeli Academy of Columbus will be located within a 15-minute drive of downtown Columbus, making it easily accessible to families from all around the city.

Tuition rates will be announced in the near future.

As we plan for the future, we are looking for donors to help support the school, including financial assistance. Assistance will be available on a need basis and as funds become available.

Unfortunately, Ed Choice is not currently available. We continue to partner with the Ohio Department of Education to understand the compliance requirements. It is our hope that EdChoice will be available in the years to come.

The vision set by the Founders for Regina Caeli Academy of Columbus is to be both authentically Catholic and committed to excellence. It is this two-pronged approach to our mission and vision, combined with our modified weekly-schedule, that sets us apart from the crowd.

RCAC is first and foremost authentically and unapologetically Catholic. The divine liturgy and the traditions of our Catholic faith are rich and life-giving. Without watering down the beauty and truths of our faith, we seek to build a school community where our Catholic heritage is cherished and lived to the fullest.

It is only in light of the truth of the Gospel, the Truth who is Jesus Christ, that man can be truly excellent. This includes excellence as it pertains to virtue and the moral life, but also intellectual excellence. To this end, we have decided to employ the classical liberal arts as it is a time-tested pedagogy for cultivating both faith and reason.

Please see “How Many Days Does RCAC Meet” of this FAQ fo more information on our modified weekly schedule.

We invite you to check out our page, What is Classical Education? to learn more about why we feel a classical liberal arts education is the most authentic form of Catholic Education.

“Since parents have given children their life, they are bound by the most serious obligation to educate their offspring and therefore must be recognized as the primary and principal educators.” - Gravissimum Educationis, #3.

In all her many documents, Holy Mother Church recognizes the right and duty of parents to educate their children. Over time, schools have been introduced to support parents in this tremendous and noble task. At RCAC, we are a full-time school that provides a well-rounded and compete curriculum. The school, however, does not replace the duty of the parents as primary educators. As such, parents are asked to be involved in their child’s education - both academic and Catholic formation. This includes, for example, assistance with homework, fostering a strong faith life at home, and participation in the events and activities of the school.

Offering a modified weekly schedule has many benefits for the family. Depending on the grade level and maturity of the child, parents may need to assist with or oversee their child’s “work at home” assigned by the teacher. This extra reading, practice wok, or review of material allows the school to achieve it’s academic goals while still supporting family life through a shortened school week.
