Regents School of Austin is a private, classical, non-denominational Christian school located in Austin, Texas.
The Regents curriculum is loosely based on a classical education model called the Trivium. The Trivium is composed of three stages: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Grammar school comprises kindergarten through 6th grade, logic is grades 7 and 8 and rhetoric is grades 9 to 12.
In the grammar stage (K - 6) students are taught the building blocks for future subjects, including phonics, Latin, grammar, and math facts. In the logic stage (grades 7 – 8), students learn formal logic. In the final stage, rhetoric (grades 9 - 12), students learn classical rhetoric.
The school names represent their developmental approach to education.
Regents was founded in 1992. It was originally at Park Hills Baptist Church before moving to Tarrytown Baptist Church. Regents spent many years meeting in portable buildings in the parking lot at Tarrytown Baptist before moving to a permanent campus in 1998. Regents had its first graduating class in 2000, consisting of two students.
The school has grown to more than 1,000 students. [2]

Classical Christian education is an approach to learning rooted in the long story of Christian engagement with the classical tradition as exemplified first by figures such as the Cappadocian Fathers, Augustine and Jerome as well as the fullness of Christian monastic traditions.

Various classical Christian schools emphasize and articulate different things in their approaches, but most include biblical teachings and incorporate a teaching model from the classical education renewal known as the Trivium, consisting of three parts: grammar, logic, and rhetoric.
