Milestones that shaped the journey, growth and spirit of Rosary.

BIRTH OF ROSARY

9th June 1950 is a significant day in the history of Rosary school as it saw the birth of the institution in response to the wishes of many parents in Madras to give their children education through English medium. The sisters- Franciscan Missionaries of Mary came forward to meet the expressed need of parents. Thus, the Rosary Matriculation School was started. The school has grown from strength to strength over these sixty Two years marking milestones in its journey into the future. A glimpse at the growth of this institution will awaken a spirit of service in us and prepare us for a fruitful life in the years to come.

FOUNDER OF THIS INSTITUTION

The Founder Principal of this institution was Sr. Mary Proinsias FMM in whose tender care the sapling of Rosary began to grow with Truth and Charity as its motto. The pioneers of the infant Rosary School started building up the school facing with courage and determination all the challenges in their onward march. “To whom much is given, from him much will be required”. Yes, the rapid growth and development of the school demanded greater emphasis on the all round development of the child. The high standard of education with discipline set a general tone for the school.

DEVELOPING A SPIRIT OF ENQUIRY

Knowledge is acquired in different ways, both by learning and doing. The well equipped Science Labs make learning enjoyable, developing the spirit of enquiry in the young minds. In keeping with the IT explosion which is monopolizing the modern world, the school has set up a sophisticated computer centre functioning from 13th July 1990. Even the tiny tots of Rosary School derive great delight in operating the ‘magic machine’.
