ROSARY ACADEMY
HOW WE BEGAN
Founded in 1965 under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and administered by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange(CSJ), Rosary Academy opened to provide greater opportunities for young women. In 1976, Rosary moved under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Orange and continues to offer a diversified college preparatory curriculum complemented by an extensive co-curricular program. Rosary empowers the next generation of women leaders by encouraging each student to become a woman of faith and a citizen who is knowledgeable, creative, ethical, and responsible. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, and those who work with them, are called to live a charism of unity, reconciliation, and “service to the dear neighbor without distinction.” Since 1965, Rosary Academy has journeyed with the Sisters of St. Joseph in this mission. 3
FAITH Rosary’s Mission As a college preparatory diocesan Catholic high school, Rosary Academy empowers the mind, body, and spirit of each young woman in a transformative educational experience.

ACADEMICS
Rosary girls learn to think critically, communicate effectively, strengthen their voices, and make empowering choices through real world problemsolving. Our academic programs facilitate spirited class discussions, interdisciplinary learning, and oneon-one interaction with faculty. We know the importance of an allgirl education. Rosary understands that how girls learn is just as 6
important as what they learn.
Critical Thinkers Problem Solvers STEM Scholars The goal at Rosary Academy is to provide a rigorous and comprehensive academic curriculum, within a Catholic framework. Studies have shown that graduates from all-girl schools are offered greater leadership opportunities, are comfortable being themselves at school, and are six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology compared to girls who attend coed schools.

SISTERHOOD
At Rosary Academy, sisterhood is integral to the Royal experience. The sisterhood of Rosary students and alumnae provides a welcoming environment where girls are supported and encouraged to thrive. Many traditions have been celebrated for decades and connect current students to our rich history, while promoting school spirit; from receiving class rings on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary to performing in Red & Gold, a student-run musical theatre production, 12
to attending retreats that strengthen the bond of sisterhood.
