Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Academy seeks to provide a quality Catholic education for all our children.

We educate the whole child through programs encompassing the spiritual, intellectual, social, psychological, and physical development of our students.

Through our religious education program, we strive to develop a well-rounded Christian personality that will be reflected by respect toward self and others as exemplified by Jesus in the Gospels.

Worship builds and celebrates the relationship between God and our community of God's people.

It is our goal to enrich the spiritual lives of our students.

We teach love of God, love of neighbor, and love of self, and we strive to encourage a respect for life and a love of learning.

The children are taught to respect the right of others.

Each of us is created in the image and likeness of God.

For this reason, we resect one another. Teachers strive to create an environment in whch students are challenged through their learning experiences.

By fostering a positive self-image in our students, the school helps develop their confidence in their ability to succeed.

We strongly believe that as a faculty, we have a caring, nurturing and supportive community.

The relationship between the student body and the faculty is an essential aspect of life experience.

In order for the education to take place, it is necessary to create a secure learning environment.

To ensure this, we follow the guidelines and standards put forth by the Office of Catholic Schools Support Services of the Diocese of Brooklyn, and those mandated by the State of New York.
