When your child comes to Holy Rosary, they're not just learning facts and figures. To be sure, they are learning that; but they're also learning how to be citizens of the world. They're learning character, so they can resist the worlds trappings. It's also about what they're not learning. They're not learning consumerism and how to put others down by separation of classes through brand consiousness. They have daily prayer, weekly Mass, and religion class. Holy Rosary is a dually credited School. It's credited by both the Diocese and by the NCA. The education at Holy Rosary School has been proven (through test score comparisons) to prepare our students to compete with and be above many students nationally. In speaking with the students (and looking at the honor roll for CHS) that have gone on to high school, they have told me how much of their Freshman year has been made easier because of the knowledge they have gained while being here. In speaking with the teachers from the High School and Technical School they agree that the students from Holy Rosary generally achieve within the higher percentile of their class. Beyond the education, we offer a very safe, warm, caring, “family like” atmosphere. Just to watch the friendships that are made, not just in each classroom, but throughout the whole student body is simply amazing. Education is the primary reason for you to send your child to a school, but if you doubt that a small school can help develop the skills needed to “survive” in the public school just check out how involved in various areas the students who have graduated from here are in. It is great that you have a choice for education in this area and I am really thrilled that you have chosen Holy Rosary School to educate your child. If you are thinking of switching schools, just remember that the nurturing environment, small classes, caring teachers, and relatively low discipline student body that you are a part of right now should not be taken for granted. As this is the one thing that you will often not find in other (especially larger) schools. |
