A Taste of The Regent


          College Life





                                                    I used to think ‘school spirit’ was a cliche movie trope
                                                    until  I  walked  through  the  gates  of  The  Regent
                                                    College.  The  sunlight  streaming  through  the  glass
                                                    windows in the Library and the student lounge felt like
                                                    a spotlight on the vision I have for the future. I never
                                                    imagined I would grow in such ways, from gradually
                                                    discovering  who  I  am  to  single-handedly  taking  on

                                                    academic  challenges  that  opened  my  eyes  to  the
                                                    reality of a higher education.


                                                    I am currently in my first year of the Advanced Level
                                                    program,    and  I  have  to  say,  whew!  It’s  been  quite
                                                    tedious and rigorous, but not impossible. I’ve further
                                                    nurtured  my  teamwork  skills,  communication  skills,
                                                    critical  thinking,  scientific  literacy,  active  listening
                                                    skills,  and  so  much  more.  Becoming  more
                                                    independent  and  learning  how  to  manage  time  is
                                                    basically a requirement for excelling at this school. I
                                                    appreciate  the  strict  standards  applied  that  keep
                                                    students  on  their  toes  at  all  times.  The  staff  are
                                                    welcoming,  encouraging,  firm  and  kind,  which
                                                    completes  the  puzzle  for  a  near-perfect  school
                                                    environment.


                                                    Giving back to the community is something I have
                                                    always loved doing since I was young, not just any

                                                    charity work, but also becoming a mentor for the
                                                    less fortunate! Being able to nurture someone for a

        discovering who I am to single-             I love The Regent College. All students are assigned

                                                    than The Regent College - it offers everything you

                                                    life is incredibly satisfying to me. I have made and
