Description

The Academy was founded in 1987 by a group of Catholic parents in Anchorage who desired a school where a sound education in Catholicism would be an essential part of their children's academic progress. It has grown from a small student body of just eighteen students to more than 120 in grades K-12. It was recognized for four years running as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in the country (Catholic High School Honor Roll, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007). The school academic focus is on classical education focusing on fundamental educational skills of reading, writing and arithmetic as well as philosophical thought and classical languages, Latin and Greek.

Holy Rosary Academy is accredited through the National Association of Private Catholic Independent Schools.
