about santa rosa de lima catholic school

Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic School is a Roman Catholic School in the Franciscan tradition.
 
Father Raymond Knopp, a priest with the Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate, opened Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic School in 1955. The Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception conducted classes until 2010. The school has been under the leadership of lay employees since then.
 
Today, Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic School is a transitional kindergarten through eighth grade school that strives to educate all students in accordance with the Gospel. SRDLCS believes preparation for the 21st century is paramount for the success of the students and is dedicated to providing students with a spiritually rich and nurturing environment. SRDLCS strongly believes that each child is a gift from God who deserves the right to a quality education. SRDLCS offers faith-based, rigorous education aligned to Archdiocesan and California State Standards in a Catholic school environment.
