Saint Rose Academy is located in Birmingham’s popular Highland Park neighborhood. This private Catholic elementary school was founded in 1956 and is owned and operated by the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia Congregation, which was established in 1860 in Nashville.

Students can participate in choir and athletics, including basketball, football, cross-country, volleyball, cheerleading, golf, soccer and softball. They can also choose to participate in extracurricular activities ranging from drama club to science club.

We have been part of this school for over ten years and it has been such a blessing. The Sisters and teachers are caring and guide each student both spiritually and academically. I can say, without hesitation, that my older children are prepared superbly for high school and beyond. They are challenged to be leaders and to be lead by Christ. Saint Rose is a place where Christ's presence is felt daily and is truly a gem amongst all of the Catholic schools.
