Saint Rose is a K-5 school on the west side of the City of Saint John, New Brunswick with a student population of 270.
In October 1959, the cornerstone for the present school was laid by Bishop A. B. Leverman, Bishop of the Diocese of Saint John. In September 1960, the new school building located at Manawagonish Road, site of the former Ready property, was open for classes. By the end of the school year 1982-83, a music room, library, science lab and art room enhanced the lower level of the school. Later, two new classrooms were added to this level.
In the school year 1991-92, Saint Rose received their first two kindergarten classes. By the school year 1993-94, Saint Rose welcomed their first French Immersion class at grade seven.
During the 1995-96 academic year, Saint Rose Parish completed major renovations to the building. At that time, new lighting was installed throughout the school, extensive tile work was completed in the classrooms, as well as the gymnasium. New windows were installed throughout the school.
Saint Rose Parish offers an after-school Day Care Centre in the Monsignor Osborne section of the school.
April 2001 saw the official opening of the elevator (chair lift) at the school. This was a joint venture between the Province of New Brunswick and Saint Rose Parish.
In 2006 the school put in a new playground as part of a joint project between Kaboom!, Home Depot and many hardworking teachers, parents and volunteers. Over the following year the playground was expanded to include a section with wheel chair access.
Today Saint Rose School continues with the goal of providing its students a quality education in a caring environment.
