Our Academic Program

          Holy Rosary School is NEASC accredited. We provide a preK-8 education, including a full-day kindergarten program. In addition to the typical elementary school subjects (reading, writing/English, math, science, and social studies) our students are also required to study religion (primarily the Roman Catholic faith) and, beginning in the fourth grade, French. In addition, every class has gym and art once per week, grades K-6 have music and all students have computer class once or twice per week. Computer class is held in our computer lab that has 25 student computers and DSL Internet access.

Other Academics-Related Activities

          Each year our 7th and 8th grade students participate in a Government Day program where they campaign for and elect city officials. The winners then get to meet their counterparts from Gardner, many of whom come and speak at the school, and the class visits the State House in Boston. Every other year all our 5th-8th grade students participate in a school science fair. The winners go on to complete in the diocesan science fair. Seventh and eighth grade students also participate in an annual Declamation contest. Also open to the eighth grade students is the opportunity to work on the school yearbook.

Extracurricular Activities

          Holy Rosary offers a number of extracurricular activities for students to participate in. Holy Rosary has a school band, made up of students taking private lessons here at the school. The band  performs in Christmas and Spring concerts. Students also have the opportunity to participate in an annual musical. In the sports department, in association with Sacred Heart Elementary School, Holy Rosary supports both Girl's and Boy's basketball teams, for 5th and 6th grades together and for 7th and 8th grades together. Every fall with Sacred Heart, there is an intramural basketball program for grades 6-8. Many of our students participate in independent sports activities or in activities sponsored by their hometown schools. Finally, our 6th grade teacher offers a 6-week skiing/snowboarding program at Mt. Wachusett for 4th to 8th grade students.
