School Reviews

Excellent School - strong academics in a diverse environment.
As a Catholic School graduate, I am proud to send my son to this school.
It is community oriented and our family is directly involved in the athletic programs. State of the art facilities - in fact, my son will be entering the 7th grade and will receive a laptop for use throughout Middle School. Everything is electronic - Computerized boards have replaced the dry/erase boards and student participation is computerized via handheld devices. Foreign languages are introduced to students at an early age and with a small class size, each student has their own relationship with their teacher. If you are looking for an affordable Catholic School that will prepare your child for success in today's world, choose Holy Rosary in Tacoma, Washington.
Endorse Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
