Holy Rosary School

ACADEMICS

In March of 2006, the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools awarded the Holy Rosary teaching staff and educational programs the highest ratings. We are proud to offer a comprehensive Pre K through 8th grade academic program with the following features.

• A state of the art Library/Media Program that was nationally recognized by the American Library Association in 2005 and is being supported, in part, by the Bellarmine IT Department.

• ITBS and WASL testing programs are used in grades 3 through 8 as ongoing tools to measure both the academic progress of the individual student and the overall effectiveness of instructional programs.

• Contract with the ARK Institute of Learning is contracted to provide assessment, special tutorial programs for students who need support and faculty workshops to help teachers educate diverse learners. Title I provides funds to make this program available to students from low income families.

• A liturgical program that teaches all grade levels to plan weekly masses. A liturgy planning team of middle school students  prepare material for the liturgical seasons of Advent, Lent, the Triduum and the Easter season and help the lower grades do the same.

• Homework that the academic life of the student into the home begins in kindergarten with family projects and develops into a daily homework load of 60 to 90 minute for middle school students.
• Specialists in PE/Health and Music who offer bi-weekly classes rounds off our staff.

• We are a feeder school for Bellarmine Preparatory School providing them, as well as other local high schools, with well prepared and well rounded students.
