The goal of Saint Rose of Lima School is to provide an atmosphere of
growth where students can develop spiritually, academically, emotionally,
socially, and physically.
-
Spiritually
-
Academically
-
Emotionally
-
To accept ourselves and
others as gifts from God, to provide guidance for the child through
the stages of individual development, and to provide assistance to any
child that may be encountering difficulties in his or her life.
-
Socially
-
To guide each child to
respect the needs and differences of every person and to foster an
awareness of individual responsibility to self, the community, the
nation, and to the world.
-
Physically
Thus the school strives to educate the whole
child in a Catholic setting following the prescribed curriculum of the
Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown.
We create a family spirit which is
characterized by an atmosphere of love, respect, affirmation,
forgiveness, and celebration. Because the school and the church share
with families the responsibility for guiding the child's development,
close communication among teachers, students, and families is strongly
encouraged. Therefore the individual characteristics and abilities of
each student are the object of every teacher's attention and concern.
Consequently, faith, community, and service are the basis of all
expectations and evaluation.
Because the school and church share with the
parents the responsibility for guiding the child's development, close
communication between home and school is strongly encouraged.

St. Rose of Lima School follows the
recommended curriculum of the Altoona-Johnstown
Diocese in all subject areas. The concepts, skills, and /or topics of each
subject are
taught in sequence.
Textbooks are selected by the administration
and faculty to address the particular needs
of the students. Students must pay a replacement fee for damaged or lost
textbooks.
The religion curriculum is of primary
importance and permeates the day. It is not only a
subject taught but also a way to live. Children participate in liturgies,
para-liturgies,
service and living in a caring Christian community. All children are
expected to
participate in all aspects of the religion program.
Special topics of social concern, e.g.
substance abuse, sex education, and bullying are
integrated into the curriculum throughout the grade levels. Other extended
curriculum
opportunities are offered through special programs, guest speakers,
projects, and contests
during the school year.

The educational objectives of St. Rose of Lima
School flow from the belief that the child,
within the context of the family, is the focal point of all of our
efforts.
We, as a staff, strive:
-
To assist the child in acquiring those values
necessary for Christian living.
-
To provide the child with opportunities that will
help him/her meet the challenge of
Christian living.
-
To develop a sense of responsibility in each
child.
-
To help the child achieve success as well as
excellence in learning.
-
To adapt lessons to the individual needs of each
child.
-
To give the child a feeling of “at-homeness”
within the context of academic
discipline.
-
To have each child experience self-worth as a
member of God’s Family.
