St Rose of Lima Catholic School
De Soto, MO 63020
St. Rose of Lima Catholic School provides high-quality, faith-based education from Pre-K through 8th grade.
We empower students with wisdom, virtue, and knowledge to reach their full potential, equipping them to become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and people who lead others in their faith. Rooted in Christian values, we welcome Catholic and non-Catholic families who want their children grounded in strong academics and faith.
Rooted In Faith
Faith isn’t just a subject here. It runs through the whole day. Through prayer, Mass, service, and the way we treat one another, students learn what it looks like to live Christian values, not just study them.
Caring Teachers
In our classrooms, your child is a name and a story, not a number. With smaller class sizes, our teachers build real relationships with students and families, and they notice when a child needs a little more help or a little more challenge.
Strong Academics
A challenging curriculum in reading, writing, math, and science prepares students for high school and beyond. Our teachers know how to bring the best out of each child, and they hold every student to a standard worth reaching for.
A Community Like Family
Parents, teachers, and students know one another by name, show up for each other, and celebrate together, from Sunday Mass to the school auction that has brought this community together for decades. When your child comes here, they belong, and so do you.

A Well-Rounded Education, Grounded in Faith
From the first day of preschool through 8th grade graduation, St. Rose students build a strong foundation in the core subjects while growing in character and faith. We keep expectations high and support close, so every child can meet them.
Pre-School & Early Learning
Our youngest students learn through play, structure, and care, building the early reading, math, and social skills that set them up for kindergarten and beyond.
Elementary K-4th Grade
Students build fluency in reading, writing, and math while exploring science, social studies, and their faith.
Middle School 5th-8th Grade
Older students take on greater independence and deeper coursework, and they graduate prepared for the academic and personal demands of high school.
Specials & Enrichment
Learning reaches beyond the core classroom through our specials and enrichment program in art, PE, library, and technology. Students explore their creativity, discover a love of reading, and build the digital skills they'll carry into the future.
Growing in Faith Together
At St. Rose, faith is something students live, not just learn. They pray together, worship together, and serve their community together. Our mission is to help each child become a critical thinker, a strong communicator, and a person who leads others toward good. Families of all backgrounds are welcome to be part of that, and many of our non-Catholic families tell us the values are exactly what drew them here.
