Read what our Parents have to say about Regina Pacis Academy!
“Finding Regina Pacis Academy has been my family’s blessing to come out of a global pandemic... [We] took a leap of faith from the convenience of our local public school to RPA... My son had an IEP in his previous school. He is currently thriving in the RPA environment. In his second week...he exclaimed, “It is so nice to have teachers that help me and don’t just give me the answer and tell me to sit down.” ...This brought tears to my eyes...[The RPA faculty and staff] are incredibly invested in their students, encourage free thinking and help shape the entire student, both academically and spiritually. More importantly, RPA is feeding their students’ souls and assisting my husband and I in our most important job as parents, to get our kids to Heaven.”
Meet the Dedvukaj Family!
Paul and Chrissy Dedvukaj from Yonkers, NY, are parents of RPA students Damian (Pre-K), Adrianna (Grade 1), Dominic (Grade 5) and Angelina (Grade 6).
“RPA takes seriously both academics and the Catholic faith. Our girls come home every day and talk about everything they’re learning — today our kindergartener was telling us all about Queen Nefertiti, while our second grader was running through her favorite fables of Aesop. But one thing we weren’t expecting, and have been pleasantly surprised by, is the warm community we were welcomed in to right from the start... something we don’t take for granted in the midst of a global pandemic... We’ve been extremely grateful for the island of sanity and relative normality that Regina Pacis Academy has provided for our children and our whole family in these unusual times.

Meet the Sullivan Family!
Finbar and Theresa Sullivan from Norwalk, CT, are parents of RPA students Bridget (Kindergarten), Margaret (Grade 2) and Lucy (Grade 4), as well as one younger child.
“We wanted a place where [our children] were in a safe learning environment, away from the craziness going on and the educational practices of public schools. In the previous schools [our children attended], we felt religion was just one subject, the same as any other in the curriculum. What attracted us to RPA was making religion not just a subject, but making it the center of the education. [At RPA], our kids... experience a true love for God [and] Jesus is now the center of all they do. We believe RPA is helping us in our mission of making our children saints.”
Meet the Rafferty Family!
Michael and Isabel Rafferty from Westport, CT, are parents of RPA students Alexander (Pre-K), Sebastian (Grade 1) and Mikey (Grade 3), as well as one younger child.
“Parents: Rest assured. Our children will be firmly grounded in both their faith and their ability to think and reason - fully in the world, but not of the world. ... Our students are forced to work, and to think on their own, using what they have been taught and equipped only with the most powerful computer God ever created - the human mind.”

“The most authentic Classical Catholic grammar school where the whole child is nurtured in Christ alongside a traditional academic rigor that prepares a child for life. This type of foundation in an academic environment has become rare in the last 50 years and it’s schools like Regina Pacis Academy that strive to bring it back, lovingly educating one family at a time.”
