2021-2022 Rosarian Academy Annual Giving Report

FOR

SUPPORTING THANK YOU

OUR MISSION

Rosarian Academy, founded in 1925, is an independent, coeducational Catholic school sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. Its mission is to educate the whole person for life in a global community in the light of Gospel values.

DEAR ROSARIAN COMMUNITY,

On behalf of Rosarian Academy - I thank you for your generous support of our “Drive to Thrive” Rosarian Fund. We feel blessed that you chose to support our fund so generously. Coming out of the coronavirus pandemic and turning the corner to the new normal, Rosarian Academy not only survived but thrived! This generous giving is a testament to you, our parents and benefactors, who stewarded us through the challenges of the pandemic. Through your gifts to our school in 2021-2022, we were able to provide support that benefits every current student and will enhance the quality of a Rosarian education for years to come. This annual giving report pronounces your generosity and testifies to the “Uniquely RA” community that has been established over the span of nearly a century.

For more than 97 years, Rosarian has set the standard for excellence in Catholic education in Palm Beach County. Guided by the Dominican pillars of prayer, study, community, and service, Rosarian Academy consists of a faith-filled community dedicated to the common goal of educating the whole student and providing each person with a foundation for life. With the guidance of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, the Board of Directors, and your financial support, the future of Rosarian Academy is shining brightly.

Reflecting on the 2021-2022 academic year, Rosarian experienced growth and thrived in many areas:

After having reduced class sizes to safeguard the health and well-being of students, faculty, and staff during the pandemic, Rosarian Academy welcomed 81 new students and saw enrollment return to pre-pandemic numbers. Rosarian welcomed not only new families, but also welcomed parents back to campus and the return of many events and activities that were canceled during the pandemic. Interscholastic athletic competition returned for all sports. Students were again allowed to attend mass in person, and eventually, parents were allowed to attend as well. One of the most notable events to return was the 42nd Annual Auction & Ball, which was a tremendous success.

Providing the strongest academic offerings possible is a hallmark of Rosarian Academy. In continually seeking ways to improve and fortify an already strong curriculum, the middle school Language Arts and Math curricula underwent a year-long review and improvement process that saw cross-grade level collaboration and contribution.

The partnership with Fresh Rx expanded the sustainable garden and gave some of our younger students real-world opportunities to learn about the life cycle of plants and the impact of climate and weather on agriculture. The program even incorporated our Dominican pillar of service, as all the organic produce harvested benefitted the Lord’s Place’s Culinary Work Experience program dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness.

Rosarian Academy is the first Carnegie STEM Excellence Pathway Partner in the state of Florida. This partnership provided exciting enhancements and improvements to the STEM offerings and program. Rosarian Academy had a competitive robotics team for the first time in our history. The robotics team competed in the First LEGO League and qualified for the regional championship in its first season of competition. All students benefited from the curriculum enhancements made possible through the partnership with the Carnegie Science Center and Carnegie Mellon University, as well as the instruction of Rosarian’s full-time STEM teacher. Students were introduced to robotics in the Montessori Children’s House classrooms. Kindergarten and first grade students began the basics of coding, and our lower and middle school students were able to design items and produce them using the three 3D printers. Through Carnegie Mellon University’s “CS Academy’’ program our students were able to learn the Python coding language up to a high school level. Rosarian Academy is providing a foundation for the lives and careers of today and tomorrow in all ways.

Our full-time Guidance Counselor was able to teach our Character Education program to all lower and middle school students as well as provide support to those in need of counseling. Our full-time School Nurse was once again invaluable in ensuring the general health of our student body, especially through the evolving world pandemic. Lower and middle school musicals returned. Seventh and eighth graders both got to enjoy Circle F Dude Ranch, and the eighth grade Washington, D.C., field trip was also indication of our return to normal.

Thanks to your generosity and resilience, Rosarian Academy maintained a thriving school community and spirit through difficult times. Your financial support allowed us to retain and recruit highly trained and qualified faculty and staff and offer an advanced, progressive and accelerated academic program. Each gift received was a testament to the value of a Rosarian education and allowed us to continue to be a leader in Catholic and independent school education.

It is with utmost appreciation that we thank you, once again, for supporting our “Drive to Thrive” and ensuring that the future of Rosarian Academy is bright.

With gratitude and blessings,

Linda M. Trethewey, Ed. D. Head of School
