Regents School of Oxford, a distinguished Classical Christian institution in Oxford, began construction on its new upper school facility March 6, 2024. The event, which is phase one of a planned four-phase development venture, marked a pivotal moment in the school’s history as it embarks on a transformative journey to enhance its educational offerings.
The new facility, spanning an impressive 45,000 square feet, will cater to students from 6th to 12th grade, underscoring the school’s commitment to providing a nurturing environment for academic and spiritual growth. Among its notable features is a spacious 600-seat gymnasium, complete with locker and weight rooms, designed to facilitate athletic pursuits and physical education.
“I would like to thank Mrs. Jenny Stubblefield, the Board of Directors, our students, parents, and teachers for helping us reach this milestone in the life of our school,” said Dr. Matt Schroeder, Head of School. “As we celebrate this occasion with the Regents community, we are thankful for God’s provision for our school over the past 25 years. Though we will have another gym, more classrooms, and a cafeteria, our mission has and will always stay the same: to disciple students to love, serve, and glorify the Lord.”
In addition to the gymnasium, the facility will feature a dining hall boasting both indoor and outdoor seating, fostering a sense of community, and providing students with a comfortable space to enjoy meals together. The outdoor area will include a wonderful lawn, offering ample space for outdoor activities and gatherings.
“I want to thank our Board of Directors, administration, faculty, staff, Regents families, and donors who have partnered with us along this journey and have been an instrumental part in bringing this vision to fruition,” added Jenny Stubblefield, Board Chair. “Building this facility will equip us to continue to provide educational excellence while maintaining our core mission. We are grateful to be a part of the Oxford community and the Kingdom work He is doing right here on College Hill Road.”
The March 6 event, attended by the Regents Board of Directors, administrators, and upper school student leadership, marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for Regents School of Oxford. The school looks forward to the completion of this state-of-the-art facility, which will undoubtedly enrich the educational experience for generations of students to come.
