St. Rose of Lima School is a safe, secure, loving environment for our children which was acredited by AdvancED. The teachers and staff truly care for each student. Not only about the students'' academic success but their personal and spiritual growth as well. The building and playgrounds are exceptionally clean and maintained beautifully. Along with standard curriculum, our children learn Art, Music, Computers, and Spanish. St. Rose provides a wide variety of after school sports teams & activities including Robotics, Yoga, Magic, Mad Science and more, along with various special social events for the kids and families. My children LOVE their school. We could not be happier. We never worry when school is in session.
