We love SRL! I have 3 kids currently enrolled and they could not be any happier at the school. The teachers and staff are all wonderful. Strong sense of community among families at the school. Great clubs, sports, and extra curriculars offered at the school. Most importantly, they provide a great academic and faith based education to the kids.

I had several children attend St. Rose. The curriculum had faith incorporated in almost every subject area. I loved that they had religion every day, attended mass and received an excellent academic preparation. It was definitely worth the sacrifice.
