Rochester Catholic Schools’ +50% Increase in New Applicants Makes

Local and National Headlines

Cue The Confetti!

We are thrilled to announce Rochester Catholic Schools has caught the attention of local and national media including Rochester Post Bulletin, KIMT-TV, and Yahoo News, after seeing a +50% increase in new applicants in early preschool-grade 12 for the upcoming school year!

Christ-centered, excellent educators, small class sizes, and rigorous academics are a few of the many reasons our educational experience is in high demand.

Over the past two years, RCS has been gaining momentum and building to this point as we implemented several new initiatives, including:

• Curriculum enhancements to prepare learners with 21st century skills.

• Preschool expansion including an all-day age 2 program at Holy Spirit Catholic School, an all-day pre-kindergarten program at St. Francis of Assisi School, and a nature-based pre-kindergarten program at Lourdes High School.

• New grades 5-8 middle school reconfiguration at St. Francis of Assisi School.

• New marketing initiatives and grade-specific admissions events including Toddler Time, A Taste of Kindergarten, Soar with the Eagles at LHS, and Breakfast with Santa, in addition to the RCS Showcase of Schools.

• New alumni initiatives including relaunch of alumni magazine, Aquila, and alumni events.

• Growth of our summer opportunities, which include summer care for preschoolgrade 6, summer academy classes, sports camps, and summer tutoring.

We are thrilled about the growth of our school system and the opportunity to provide exceptional programming as we lead new families to Christ,” President Annemarie Vega said.

“We are blessed!”
