As a parent with children enrolled at Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy, I can confidently say it has been a truly blessed experience. The school offers a warm, faith-based, and close-knit community where every child is known by name. One of the aspects I appreciate most is the bilingual curriculum—my kids are exposed to a second language from an early age, which not only boosts their academic development but also broadens their cultural awareness. The small class sizes mean more individual attention, and the dedicated teachers go above and beyond to support each child's growth—spiritually, academically, and socially. The emphasis on strong values, respect, and community really shines through. It's a place where families are involved, and you feel like part of a larger extended family. I'm so grateful my children are learning in an environment that not only nurtures their minds but also their hearts.

Excellent School - strong academics in a diverse environment. As a Catholic School graduate, I am proud to send my son to this school. It is community oriented and our family is directly involved in the athletic programs. State of the art facilities - in fact, my son will be entering the 7th grade and will receive a laptop for use throughout Middle School. Everything is electronic - Computerized boards have replaced the dry/erase boards and student participation is computerized via handheld devices. Foreign languages are introduced to students at an early age and with a small class size, each student has their own relationship with their teacher. If you are looking for an affordable Catholic School that will prepare your child for success in today's world, choose Holy Rosary in Tacoma, Washington.
