Build the Dream...Live the Legacy

In 1911, the Archdiocese of St. Louis opened two free learning centers for young women, staffed by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.

In 1912, these religious women revolutionized Catholic education in St. Louis by joining the two centers and working together to create Rosati-Kain High School. When the School Sisters of Notre Dame and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondalet communities began working together, their cooperation and complementary charisms redefined women's Catholic education in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

R-K has a long tradition of a 100% college acceptance rate; the class of 2010 earned over $7,000,000 in scholarships and aid offers.

We are at our target enrollment of 400 students. Currently, the freshman class is the largest, and the graduating seniors are the smallest class. Interest in R-K remains high. At 2010 High School Nights, over 425 students attended R-K's presentation and more than 144 students have scheduled a "Shadow Visit" with a current freshman.

Thanks to the generosity of our alumnae and friends, the Annual Fund keeps tuition affordable, and can provide over $225,000 in tuition assistance to current families.

Committed to the Central West End

We are proud of our urban campus, which affords students to take advantage of local attractions including Forest Park's museums and athletic fields, the Sheldon Concert Hall and St. Louis University. Thanks to our central location, students come from 65 zip codes, 84 parishes and 110 grade schools.

Our location also enriches our Catholic identity. Adjacent to the Cathedral Basilica and near the Catholic Education Office and the Archbishop's residence, R-K students connect in a unique way our spiritual heritage. Nearby service sites and retreat centers connect students to the prayer and service at the heart of our Catholic faith.

R-K's new building and renovations will promote quality education in a safe, efficient, and attractive learning environment, and allow girls from throughout the area to share the best of urban education. (Click here to learn more about our plans!) As we enter our second century, R-K remains committed to educating young women in the Catholic tradition for charity, virtue, knowledge, and humility.
