Regina Caeli Academy, PSP

Registration for the 2022-2023 School Year is open from
March 1 - September 30, 2022

Welcome to Regina Caeli Academy (RCA), a private school satellite program in California.

Since 1994, RCA has supported Catholic families who home-educate their children by providing administrative oversight as a private school. We are the "umbrella," under which parents are considered satellite campuses and teachers. Families are protected by anonymity, just as with any private school in the State.

When you enroll with RCA, you have the peace of mind that you are homeschooling in compliance with California law. Personal information and records are kept confidential and secure and at no time is identifying information submitted to the State.

Parents are free to employ the educational philosophy, curriculum, and additional resources of their choosing.

Please read further to learn more about my services, then Contact Me with any questions and to being the registration process.

Regina Caeli Academy was founded in 1994 by two Catholic homeschooling mothers in San Diego County who saw a need to form a community and support like-minded famlies who also educated their children at home. While these women went on to found an independent Roman Catholic school in the area (still in existence and stronger than ever), they also began a legacy of individual Catholic mothers who have directed RCA through the years. I am honored to serve as its fourth director.

In 2014, when I "inherited" RCA, I opened enrollment to families throughout the State and by doing so, became the only statewide private school satellite program that supported Catholic famlies who educated their children at home using their choice of curriculum.

I am committed to continuing the vision of our founders by fulfilling this very real need in the State. Not only are families supported administratively, but we come together to form a community by joining in the common bonds of Faith, vocations as Catholic parents, and support for one another through prayer and mutual encouragement.

I am grateful to share my 18 years of experience homeschooling our three sons and 35+ years of non-profit professional experience in museum and arts administration and higher education, to lead Regina Caeli Academy.

My husband and I have homeschooled under RCA since our eldest began First Grade and are preparing for our final year homeschooling our youngest and rising high school senior next year. This year, we are enormously grateful to see our oldest graduate from Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts with his B.A. in Literature, and our middle son graduate from our local community college with his A.A. in Theater Arts, in Spring 2022.

In 2016, I was asked to join the inaugural team of the Classic Learning Test to assist with introducing the new exam to the greater homeschool, independent private high school, and private college communities. I also served as Director of Admissions for Magdalen College and was recently asked to return and serve in the Admissions Department once again -- all while leading RCA.

I am passionate about private Catholic education and a part of my personal mission is to promote and preserve our God-given right to do so. I am staunchly anti-Common Core and follow trends and legislative matters that affect religious and parental rights, and I encourage every parent to become active in preserving these for all of our children.

Each year leading RCA blesses me with new experiences and knowledge. As long as we continue to grow and adapt to our ever-changing environment together, I am grateful to do so with our RCA families.
