Nestled in a quiet neighborhood in Freehold, New Jersey is a hidden treasure chest.  This is a treasure not made of gold but of earthen vessels being formed into a community of respectful people who recognize that all things come from God.  They appreciate the gifts gievn to them and work as a family to develop them into a gift to give back to God.  From the youngest Pre - K Student to the most experienced person on the staff, from the new parent to the grandparents and alumni, all work for a common goal, sharing in the love of Jesus.

This treasure chest is the St. Rose of Lima School family.  A family that began in 1875 when the Sisters of St. Francis came to teach in what would be the first parochial school in the State of New Jersey.  Nearly 150 years later, St. Rose strives to continue fulfilling the mission set forth, "to provide a Gospel centered education that empowers our students to become responsible and produtive members in the Catholic Church and society.
