Regina Mater uses a “Four Year Cycle” of themes relating to history, science, and literature across the school in order to facilitate whole family learning. Our 2022-2023 theme is Year 4: Later Modernity. We will look for the good, true, beautiful, and real in recent centuries, seeing God’s handiwork in the heroic saints who swam against the current, contra torentum.
