REACH Program Mission Statement

REACH, through a transformative middle school program, empowers high-achieving young men from underserved communities as Catholic leaders committed to faith, scholarship, and service.

REACH is a free summer-and-Saturday enrichment program for middle-school boys designed to enhance students' academic and leadership skills. Through our advanced curriculum, REACH prepares students to win scholarships and financial aid to the most selective Catholic high schools in the New York City area, including Regis High School.

Regis is tuition free and merit based, giving special consideration to families in need of financial assistance.
