Holy Rosary Academy, located in Anchorage, Alaska, United States, is a Roman Catholic independent school for grades K-12. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Anchorage.
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 now 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 though and classical languages, Latin and Greek.
Holy Rosary Academy has won accreditation through the National Association of Private Catholic Independent Schools in 2004. In that same year the faculty entered the Association's Program of Certification for Catholic Teachers. Seven have earned Plenary Certificates and two Master Teacher Certificates.
