What years/grades did your children attend Rosarian?

Our four children started attending Rosarian Academy in 2002, when we moved from Mexico City, Mexico to West Palm Beach, FL.  Arturo entered in 8th, Santiago 6th, Marian 3rd and Carolina kindergarten.

 

Where did they go to high school?

All attended or are attending The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach.

 

Where did they go to college? 

Arturo graduated from Yale University in 2011 with a degree in Political Science; Santiago graduated from Middlebury College in 2013 with a degree in Environmental Biology; and Mariana is currently a Sophomore at Duke University.

 

What are they doing today?

Arturo lives and works in Dublin, Ireland for a small private consulting firm called Emeritus Consulting. Santiago lives in New York and is currently searching for a job related to his major. He has previously worked at two zoos, one in Palm Beach, FL and the other in Paris, France, and at an animal shelter in Cape Cod this past summer.

      

Why did you originally choose to send your children to Rosarian?  

Coming from another country we wanted to make sure we provided them with a very strong academic foundation as well as a nurturing and respectful environment. Rosarian not only met but exceeded our expectations in both.

 

Were your children well prepared for high school? 

Definitely, they had no trouble when they moved from Rosarian to The Benjamin School. The foundation, learning skills and knowledge they acquired at Rosarian prepared them perfectly for the challenges of a highly selective and demanding high school like Benjamin.

 

Did Rosarian provide your children with a strong foundation in terms of faith? Academics? Arts? Athletics?  

All of the above. In addition, it provided a nurturing and dedicated learning environment where they sincerely were happy to go to school and learn everyday.

      

Do you have any other comments you wish to share?      

Yes, we cannot thank enough the Rosarian teachers and staff for the years our children spent there. The administration and the families that make up Rosarian are outstanding.

Secret agents, glamorous "Bond girls," glitzy casino games, and "techie" gadgets, Rosarian Academy's 35th Annual Auction and Rose Ball, Casino Royale, was everything envisioned. The school's largest fundraiser, including silent and live auctions, dinner, dancing, and raffles, was held at The Breakers on Saturday, November 2nd. 

 

The school bid farewell to paper bid sheets and the checkout scramble and implemented the use of smart phones and iPad bidding stations through BidPal. The approximate 250 attendees were able to place a bid, then set a maximum bid, allowing BidPal to automatically re-bid. Despite the learning curve for auction volunteers and bidders used to hand-written bid sheets, the system proved successful .

 

The G-rated, James Bond-inspired Auction and Ball was chaired by Paula Cook, Cecilia Lim, and Kelly Rooney. With much dedication and energy, these three Rosarian mothers made it their "secret mission" over the last year to bring the Rosarian community a night to remember. Dwight and Martha Schar were recognized as honorary chairpersons. The Schars have generously given their support, time and love to Rosarian Academy since they enrolled their two boys at the school in 2005. Jim Arrigo served as the auctioneer extraordinaire for the live auction.

 

All proceeds from the event go directly to the school's bottom line and are a vital part of funds needed to operate Rosarian Academy. 

 

Cindy Osborne and Laura Herlong have graciously volunteered to chair the 2014 Auction & Ball.

With the help of Rosarian Academy Lower School students, the World Record for "Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day" was broken! The entire Rosarian Lower School, kindergarten through grade four, participated in 2013 STACK UP! to set a new Guinness Book of World Records in Sport Stacking on November 14, 2013.  Over 2,800 schools and organizations representing 36 countries from around the world worked together on that specific day to beat last year's number of 483,658 stackers. This year's goal was half a million stackers.

Rosarian Academy, founded in 1925, is a private, 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.
