Established in 1964, La Reina has a strong connection to the Sisters of Notre Dame and the school’s foundational commitment to the Sisters’ education and vision principles, focused on helping young women of all faiths, develop into moral and self-confident leaders who work for the transformation of individuals and society. La Reina educates the whole person, and creates a culture that is welcoming, educational and inclusive.

Today’s young women are multifaceted and driven – out to change the world while still finding themselves. At La Reina, students take center stage and develop their passions. Throughout our 11-acre campus, students find dynamic and creative learning spaces that spark their creativity – a ceramics studio, robotics lab, black-box theater, mock trial courtroom, dance studio, and music room. There’s also a Mac Lab, the Magis Center for Campus Ministry, and onsite college counseling.

La Reina has a long tradition of helping every student find her own voice, to believe in herself as an independent thinker, with a deep commitment to serving others. For every student who says, “How will I use this in the real world?” La Reina’s Design Your Future Academies will provide answers. The Academies contribute to our students becoming self-confident leaders and increasingly self-reliant as they begin college.

La Reina prepares young women to navigate any path in the rapidly shifting landscape of the 21st century. We do this by leveraging students’ natural strengths and skills. With Universal Design for Learning (UDL), our teachers build lesson plans that emphasize a student-centered experience, combining instructional strategies, both classic and tried-and-true, with new technology and research. The goal is to make our students’ academic experience authentic and personalized – her future is our focus.
