Conformity and rote memorization do not prepare young adults for the world—

—and ALL students have unique learning needs. At ROSA, we embrace individuality and celebrate differences. Honoring equity and inclusion, our holistic approach empowers students to find their voices and reclaim their stories. Supported by small classes and direct mentorship, our experiential academic program heals educational trauma while teaching critical, creative, and adaptive thinking skills. Come and see what it’s like when school feels safe and learning is fun. Join us in preparing young adults for the future.

Why ROSA? 

BECAUSE A NEW ERA DEMANDS

A NEW APPROACH!

Our Mission:

To provide a scholastic sanctuary that celebrates individuality by eliminating barriers and encouraging kindness. We ignite curiosity, instill passion, savor nature, and cultivate community to create empowered change-makers who improve our world.

If you are being beaten down, told you are “a problem”, or feel invisible; if you get lost in the crowd, need small classes or direct instruction; if you become anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed in frenetic and competitive environments; if you are being stigmatized, bullied, or feel alienated by callous systems and social hierarchies; if you are targeted for your trauma and punished instead of supported; if systematic bias and the canonical colonial perspective trigger dissonance and righteous rage; if your ideas are shot down or your questions left unanswered; if your education feels like gaslighting; if your creativity is being hampered or your genius unrecognized; if your mental health and wellness, neurodivergence, or disability needs are left unaddressed; if your real-life struggles are unacknowledged or a needed work schedule unaccommodated for; if you are being misgendered, or confront racism, sexism, or classism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, or xenophobia; if your individuality is being suppressed, your passion stifled, or your talent unsupported; if you are marginalized for being different or feel like an outsider in any of these ways, come and check out ROSA.

Our future-thinking alternative to an outdated system might be just what you need.
