Priority in Admissions
Our Lady of the Rosary School is a mission of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church.
In consideration of this mission, we prioritize admission to families who:
- Strive continually to live according to the teachings of the Catholic faith,
- Participate meaningfully in the life of our parish,
- Seek to enroll all their eligible children in our school, and
- Model respectful partnership with our teachers and administration.
Faithful implementation of the admission policy ensures that Our Lady of the Rosary School remains a community of Catholic families who are able to grow together in holiness and friendship within our parish during the years of their children’s education and beyond.
Faithful Families Scholarship
Catholic education should be affordable, including for large families.
That’s why we have the Faithful Families Scholarship, which covers tuition for all but the two eldest children enrolled in the school, Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Tuition & Financial Aid
Our Lady of the Rosary is committed to keeping tuition affordable for all families.
Now Accepting Applications for 2025-2026
Every year, more students apply to Our Lady of the Rosary than we are able to accept. We feel blessed to be able to serve so many wonderful students but are equally disappointed that we cannot welcome all applicants due to classroom limitations. If you believe the Holy Spirit is guiding your family toward OLR, please submit applications with confidence that our admissions team will prayerfully consider your student(s) for acceptance. The better we get to know your family along the way, the more confidence all involved will have that the Lord’s will has been done regardless of the outcome.
Eligibility for K4, K5, & 1st Grade
Students applying to Pre-Kindergarten (K4) must be 4 years old, Kindergarten (K5) must be 5 years old, and 1st Grade must be 6 years old by September 1 of that school year.
