REACH seeks to place all of its graduating 8th graders at Regis and at other top Catholic high schools in New York City.  REACH considers each of the high schools in New York City with a Jesuit affiliation a “core school” and strives to place as many students as possible in one of these “core schools.”  Other than Regis, these schools include Cristo Rey High School, Fordham Preparatory School, the Loyola School and Xavier High School. Georgetown Prep presents REACH students with a Jesuit boarding school option so it too is counted among the “core schools.”  REACH graduates have also elected to attend specialized public high schools such as Stuyvesant High School, Bronx High School for Science and Brooklyn Tech High School. 

The high school placement program actually begins in a student’s second year in REACH with a fall parent meeting and the fall high school open house tour.  The placement program continues in the third year and includes the following components:

•    Summer and fall preparation for the high school entrance exams
•    Summer discussions of high school options and distinguishing characteristics 
•    Fall meeting with student and parent
•    Fall visits to high school open houses
•    Fall Application and financial aid workshops
•    Recommendation writing for each student
•    Winter preparation for high school interview
