St. Rose carries the banner of religious education and the importance of educating the whole child, examining moral issues and developing the conscience of the individual. St. Rose has a Christ- centered environment that promotes a wonderful atmosphere in which students can learn their lessons and achieve success.St. Rose believes that with diverse instruction and assessment, all students are capable of learning and succeeding. We believe students need to use their core knowledge to become thinkers and doers in the life-long learning process. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social and emotional and intellectual needs. We believe a student’s self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff. The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, and lifelong learners.St. Rose School shares in the Catholic Church’s mission to be Jesus’ disciples who will transform the world into a more caring and just society.
