Catholic Identity
The vision, identity, and mission of  Regina Maria Academy are deeply rooted in and shaped by our Catholic Faith. In addition to our focus on human dignity, focus on truth and beauty, as well as our approach to holistic learning, much of our instruction draws from the unique beliefs, prayer, and worship practices of the Catholic Church.  For Catholic students, this means the Church expects active participation at Mass and RMA will be directly instructing them in how to worship and pray during Mass and other prayer times. For non-Catholic Christian students, students of other faiths, or irreligious students, our intention is to welcome them and help them to participate in a way that promotes spiritual growth (i.e. praying in their own hearts, reflecting on the life of Jesus, or observing interior silence).
While students cannot be forced to pray and will never be pressured to become Catholic, all students regardless of religious affiliation will be asked to be present and engaged (i.e. kneeling/standing out of respect at the appropriate times) during Mass, the praying of the Rosary, praying before meals (Grace, Angelus, etc.), prayer and teachings within the classroom and from our staff, and other Catholic devotions.
We look forward to partnering with parents in the education and formation of their children.
