An Extraordinary amount of lifelong learning takes place

 outside the classroom.

It is our objective to develop the whole child through reinforcing strong academic skills, a positive self-image, a sense of civic responsibility and respect for others.  The extracurricular activities combined with our core curriculum and service projects, provide our students a well balanced program designed to provide for intellectual, aesthetic and physical development. 

Extracurricular Education
Each year at St. Rose School we encourage participation in a variety of learning activities and cultural experiences including:

·         Cultural Arts programs that develop an understanding of other societies and customs

·         Science programs that encourage hands-on participation

·        Foreign Language Program

·         School concerts and plays

·         Instrumental music instruction

·         Contests and competitions

·         National Junior Honor Society and School Yearbook

·         Newspaper coverage of students’ activities

·         Enrichment education that supplements and enhances the curriculum

·         Chess Club

·         Arts Program

Extracurricular Athletics

At St. Rose School, the interscholastic athletic program provides a foundation of spirit, enthusiasm and industriousness.  Each year students in grades 4 through 8 field teams in the Diocesan Basketball Leauge.  In addition, we encourage and facilitate our student’s participation in town sports teams.  Many of our students compete in soccer, swimming, basketball, baseball, softball, lacrosse and hockey.

Community Service

Developing in students a sense of responsibility to their community as well as school is crucial.  To cultivate this awareness of community and the world, we minister to others through seasonal and on-going service projects including:

§          Annual “Adopt-a-Family” Christmas project

·         Toys for Tots Program

·         Sponsorship of The Children’s Dining Room

·         Holy Childhood Association - global relief project

·         Annual Lenten Bread & Soup Project with Stations of the Cross

·         Faith Food Pantry - Easter basket project for local needy children

·         American Cancer Society and other research/support groups

Spiritual Life

The best way that anyone can teach another is by his or her own example.  If the lives of those who are in a position to influence young people reflect the presence of God, and His work in and through them, the impact can be powerful.  We encourage spiritual growth through:

·         Daily prayer and Weekly Mass

·         Special liturgical celebrations and prayer services

·         Celebrations of saints

·         Preparing for and receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation
