Admissions and Attendance Information

Non-Discrimination Policy

In compliance with the purposes of the Title IX Education Act, the elementary and secondary Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Denver, under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Charles Chaput and at the direction of the Secretary of Catholic Education, attest that none of the Catholic schools discriminate on the basis of gender in its admission policies, treatment of students, or its employment practices.
Catholic schools admit students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the schools. These schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, age, handicap, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of their educational policies, employment practices, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic or other school administered programs.
Students shall not be denied admission because of handicap unless the handicap seriously impairs the student’s ability to complete successfully the school’s academic program, or unless the school cannot provide sufficient care or make reasonable accommodation for the child.
Colorado law requires that all students have a current Certificate of Immunization on file by the first day of school. If this information is not on file by the first day of school, your child will not be allowed to attend school until such time as the form is turned in to the school office.
Students entering Kindergarten must be five years old on or before September 15th. Results of readiness screening will also be a factor in determining acceptance into Kindergarten.
Students entering First Grade must be six years old on or before September 15th. Students seeking admission to First Grade must also meet the criteria set by first grade teachers regarding student readiness for the academic program.

St. Rose in the Denver Community

Although St. Rose is a private school, we serve the entire Denver community by offering an educational program that provides small class sizes, quality education, and a graduation rate of over 98% (compared to 70% at public schools) to middle and low-income families. Additionally, we provide these benefits for less than half the per-child cost of public schools. More on our students.

Please contact the school office for tuition information. For families registered in a Catholic parish, and recognized by their respective pastors as parishioners, there are discounts as well as reduced rates for multiple children.

Tuition is the same for Catholics not registered in a Catholic parish and non-Catholic students.

Monthly payments begin in August. There is a 150 dollar per child nonrefundable registration fee. Children who are accepted at St. Rose may apply for financial assistance through the Seeds of Hope Assistance Program, Educational Options for Children, and Alliance for Choice in Education. All financial assistance is based on need and available funds. Tax forms are required as proof of income. Each family is expected to give 25 hours of volunteer service to the school and to help raise 250 dollars each year through lap-a-thon and candy sales.

School tours are available for anyone who is interested. Please contact the office to schedule a tour.
