Saint Rose Academy

Mission Statement of
Saint Rose Academy

Saint Rose Academy,
a home of exceptional intellectual and spiritual formation, 
challenges its children to embrace truth, 
uphold goodness, and contemplate beauty 
in the Dominican Catholic tradition.

My name is Yorgo Sarris and I attended Saint Rose for 10 years: from 4K in 2004 until 8th grade, graduating in 2014. I am currently a Senior at Samford University and have applied to eleven Law Schools in the last month! I cannot imagine my life without a Saint Rose education. The Dominican Sisters at Saint Rose take serious the school’s motto: Veritas et Caritas, or Truth and Love. Throughout my academic career at Saint Rose, the Sisters and lay teachers instilled in me the love of Our Lord and neighbor, as well as the importance of the pursuit of Truth through the Church and Her teaching. More than that, the Saint Rose education fosters a well-rounded character of humility, selflessness, magnanimity, and even wit. God’s Providence saw fit that my heart and intellect would be conformed to His through my ten years at Saint Rose. I am eternally grateful for the school, and I look forward to sending my own children (or saying Mass, if that is my vocation) there!
