How does Saint Rose promote a safe learning environment for its students?

  • At dismissal time, students are escorted to their bus or car rider pick up line.  The students are dismissed by family at the pick up line.  Student safety is a top priority for us as we are entrusted with many students who are all precious gifts from God.

Are student scholarships available?

  • Our parish and school families generously contribute each year to our Annual Fund and Sponsor a Student Program.  We feel that every child should be able to attend Catholic school, and we encourage any family who may be eligible to apply.  Scholarships and Financial Aid are determined on a need basis by applying through SmartTuition at https://aid.smarttuition.com/
  • A scholarship is also available through the State of Ohio for those students entering Kindergarten - 3rd grade.  More information is available at the Ohio Department of Education.
