What we offer

We are an affiliate of Regina Caeli Academy, which has grown rapidly since its launch in 2003, and is now operating in over 20 locations across the USA. We opened in Central Bedfordshire in 2019, providing classroom lessons on Mondays and Thursdays, and lesson plans that support parents the other three days a week. Regina Caeli UK gives parents a thriving community of like-minded educators, providing practical and moral support to equip our children for the world of tomorrow using 'the best that has been thought and said'.

Leaving mainstream schools for a culture of virtue and faith

Our tutor Mrs. Lubbock taught at every level from primary school to university. After a hiatus from teaching history at the University of Nottingham, she joined us as a tutor. Here’s why she made the change.

Why I left teaching in a mainstream school to teach at the Regina Caeli Academy

Mrs. Rafferty was an English teacher in a secondary school before she discovered Regina Caeli Academy U.K. and came on board as a tutor. Here’s why she left mainstream schools behind.

Why we chose to send our children to the Regina Caeli Academy

By year 5, Jets and Neena could see how peer pressure in school was negatively affecting their children. In looking for alternatives, they tried RCA and would now say that their children are much more peaceful and joyful. This is what happened.

Who we are

How it works

Does homeschooling work?

As homeschooling is something that many people are unfamiliar with, it is fair to ask if it ‘works’ compared to just sending your children to school. Here’s what we know.

How our fee system works

Every year, parents pay a fee for their child’s education at RCA UK. We keep this fee as low as possible so that Catholic, hybrid education can be affordable for parents who really want their children to receive this form of education.

I've never homeschooled before - help!

Many of the families who have joined RCA came from mainstream schools and our form of hybrid education was the first time that they had ever homeschooled. If this is you, don’t worry, our team is here to help.

Support our bursary fund

We do not want financial issues to be the reason any family is excluded from our RCA UK community. If you can, please consider giving to our bursary fund, which directly contributes to the fees of families who need some financial support.
