Holy Rosary (Burlington) Elementary School

Our School

Welcome to Holy Rosary School. Our Catholic elementary school, ELKP to Grade 8, is located at 261 Plains Road East, Burlington, Ontario. The school sits adjacent to Holy Rosary Parish and we are part of the Halton Catholic District School Board and are an associate school of Assumption Catholic Secondary School. Our school has one gym, a stage, a library, a full computer lab, and a beautiful peaceful garden in remembrance of Keaton Millar in our school yard.
 
Presently, as of September 2011, we have more than 450 students registered at our school. Holy Rosary is one of the designated schools of HCDSB which provides a full day Early Learning Kindergarten Program. 
 
We thrive in a cooperative partnership that involves the school, the pastoral team of Holy Rosary Parish and the home in the exalted mission of Catholic education. It is the faith-centered focus and immersion in our Catholic values that make us unique. We nurture spiritual discipleship and pursue academic excellence, emulating our Lord Jesus, the Master Teacher.
 
To the many new families in our community, we welcome you. We encourage you to become involved in the school as attentive parents, as parent volunteers and as active supporters of the Holy Rosary School community.
