St. Rose of Lima school has provided a nurturing learning environment in which my three children have thrived. With a firm basis in Catholic education their faith is something they live and believe. With my two older children graduated from St. Rose we have discovered how well they had been prepared and were able to excel in education beyond elementary and secondary school. The smallness of St. Rose has allowed our children to explore their different and individual interests and also to participate in group activities, such at CYO and various clubs offered. The principal, teachers, and staff at St. Rose are genuinely caring and talented individuals who put our children "first." Out blend of parish and school reinforces in our children the importance of community in our life-long journey in the Catholic faith.

St. Rose of Lima School provides a wonderful and nurturing learning environment based on Christian morals and values. The class sizes are small which allows individual attention from a great group of dedicated and caring teachers. My children are thriving spiritually, socially, and academically because of the warm and caring environment St. Rose of Lima provides and also to their commitment to academic excellence. Parents are encouraged to volunteer and are extremely involved and the extended parish community is very supportive. The school has a fully equipped computer lab and science lab as well as having computers and Smart Boards in every classroom. I have no doubt that St. Rose of Lima is providing my children with the academic and moral foundation they need to succeed in high school and college as well as for the rest of their life. Choose St. Rose of Lima, you will not be disappointed!

As a parent, I can t say enough good things about St. Rose of Lima School. We currently have three children who attend St. Rose and they are thriving in this nurturing environment. As soon as you walk through the school doors, you can feel the strong sense of community that is St. Rose. The teachers and faculty know each child and parents by name. All of my children are being challenged academically by the excellent teaching staff and the small teacher to student ratio means that my children are getting a lot individualized attention. But the most important thing about St. Rose is that it is teaching our children by example excellent Catholic values. These early years are so important to our children s development and they are surrounded with a strong moral and religious foundation that will help them succeed in life!

This year we have a new principal, Mrs. Phyllis Tyrrell who is an excellent leader. She has 25 years of experience as a teacher at St. Rose of Lima School. She is maintaining our wonderful traditions (some dating back 50 years) while energizing the school with new direction! She is an asset to our outstanding school!

St. Rose of Lima school is the best kept secret in North Wales; I can't say enough good things about it. We have 3 children attending St. Rose, and all 3 are happy, thriving, and learning. The school has excellent teachers and a fantastic principal who are all truly there because they have the best interests of the children at heart. The small class sizes and student to teacher ratio means every child gets the individualized attention he or she needs, be it extra help or an extra challenge. The school is ahead of the curve in technology with a computer lab as well as computers and Smart Boards in every classroom. Most importantly, our Catholic values such as prayer, morality, and service to others are taught and reinforced everyday, both at home and school. I have no doubt that St. Rose is providing my children with both the academic and moral foundation they need to succeed not only in high school and college, but for a lifetime. Consider St. Rose for your children, you will not be disappointed.

We have been a part of the St. Rose of Lima School Community for 6 years. We are extremely happy with our decision to send our children to St. Rose,as it has proven to be the best school for them. Why? Are children are very happy, they love their school, they are learning at a very high level due to the strong academic programs, and their faith is very strong for children their ages. Learning about their Catholic faith on a daily basis is just as important as the academics, as their faith will serve them well for life. This is a close community where everyone knows each other and looks out for each other in so many different ways. The facility is well maintained with modern technology throughout, yet St. Rose is also rich in special traditions that students continue to honor and participate in. The students are surrounded by a faculty and staff that are extremely caring, knowledgeable and dedicated. The school is under the leadership of a strong principal who has many years of educational expertise, as she herself was a teacher at St. Rose for 25 years. This truly is a special and unique school that has much to offer students and families. A great investment for your children.

Overall we have been pleased with our experience at St Rose. The benifets of the small size are the individual attention the students receive, and the sense of community among both students and parents. This is evident by the heavy parent involvment. St Rose reinforces values taught at home-personal prayer, community prayer, and service to others. In addition to religion, we have found the academics and dedicated staff have well prepared our children for high school.

I cannot say enough great things about this school. I have two children that attend St. Rose of Lima. Each of them have very different personalities, interests and educational needs. St. Rose provides for all these differences. The use of technology in the classroom, through smart boards and at home assignments is unbelievable. They are learning and thriving in this 'private' school environment. There is also an great sense of community. The kids share there school experience with every other grade in the school. For example, a Kindergarten student is linked with prayer partner from 7th grade. Another example is older students having community reading groups with children in younder grades. My children come home excited about learning and eager to go to school the next day! I feel so lucky my children are a part of this wonderful school.

St Rose of Lima School is a warm and loving Christian enviroment for my children. The class sizes are small which allows individual attention from a great group of teachers. My children learn about God on a daily basis. It is incorporated into every subject. I love that they attend Mass on a weekly basis. Each classroom has Smart board technology and academics are top notch! As a parent, we are always welcome to help and volunteer in the school in any way we can.
