PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION “Since every individual of whatever race, condition, and age is endowed with the dignity of a person, he/she has an inalienable right to education corresponding to his/her proper destiny and suited to his/her native talents, sex, cultural background, and ancestral heritage. At the same time, this education should pave the way to brotherly and sisterly association with other people so that genuine unity and peace may be prompted. For a true education aims at the formation of the human person with respect to his/her ultimate goal and simultaneously with respect to the good of those societies of which, as a person, he/she is a member, and in whose responsibilities as an adult, he/she will share.” --Second Vatican Council Declaration on Christian Education
In accordance with the above quote from Vatican Council II Documents of Education, we at St. Rose of Lima Catholic School believe in the following: Students are unique individuals with varied needs. They develop at different rates and in different manners. They have a natural desire to learn. They need to involve themselves responsibly in the learning process. The whole person grows through a number of supports: the home, the Church, the school, and the community. Teaching and learning can best be accomplished in an environment of trust, honesty and mutual respect. It requires the interaction and involvement of students, staff, and administration, parents, and community. Teachers and administrators provide meaningful learning experiences aimed at the development of each individual’s spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, cultural, and physical endowments.
ADMISSION A child must be three years of age, four years of age, and five years of age on or before September 1 to be admitted into the 3K, 4K, and 5K programs. The principal may make an exception in the case of a child who has completed Kindergarten in a different state where the entering age is lower if testing shows that the child is ready for First Grade.
REGISTRATION Before a student is eligible for registration, the following information must be received: State Birth Certificate (from the Bureau of Vital Statistics), Baptismal Certificate (Catholics Only), Current Immunization Record, and Social Security Card. Transfer students must also include their latest report card, test scores, and a letter of recommendation from a previous teacher or administrator, if requested by the Principal. Registration is not complete and students are not admitted to St. Rose of Lima Catholic School until all information has been received.
