Rosary Academy is accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA) and by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and is a member of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA).

Rosary Academy administers the High School Placement Test for purposes of admission.
RED & GOLD For 50 years, Red & Gold has been one of Rosary’s most cherished traditions. This school-wide endeavor presents a unique challenge to students who create, develop, direct, and perform in a musical theatre production led by student captains. To be chosen as a captain, a student must be in good academic/disciplinary standing; must demonstrate an aptitude in one of the categories; and must display leadership potential, personal motivation, an attitude of teamwork, and organizational skills. As a friendly competition, the Red & Gold process unifies the school community and profoundly deepens school spirit, loyalty, and pride.
