Greetings in Christ! Ash Wednesday on February 18th began our Lenten journey. The order of one of our patron Saints, St. Rose Venerini, had the mantra, Docere ut Salventur, “Educate to Save.” We study, read, discuss, play and work not simply to grow students’ intellects but to help them grow closer to Christ. We began Lent with a school break to enter the season focused on prayer. As school picks up again, and we ponder ways to keep our families focused, remember that one of the most powerful Lenten devotions families can do together is the Stations of the Cross on Fridays. Our Free Lessons for Lent on the Schola Rosa blog has a lesson for every Station to help your children better appreciate this devotion!
Prospective families, would you like to learn more about Oxrose? An informational Webinar with a panel of Oxrose parents is scheduled for March 20th, 1:00pm Central time. This will be a great opportunity to get your questions answered!
Course Description: Come join the game of kings! Chess is wonderful fun, but it also helps improve geometrical thinking, memory, imagination, and a strategic mindset.
We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Steven Bloom, an experienced player and deeply engaging instructor. This is a wonderful enrichment opportunity to learn (or improve at) the game of chess. It is a six-week program, meeting 1 hour each week, that incorporates strategy concepts, games, exercises, and weekly homework, as well as free opportunities for tournaments.

Course Description: Empirical Science 5: Advanced Physics and Cosmology. This course uses Novare’s Physics: Modeling NatureTrig/Vector Edition and additional supplemental sources. It reflects the Novare philosophy of integration, mastery, and robust lab experiments. The primary goal of this course is for students to gain mastery over more advanced topics in physics. It introduces new topics that were not considered in the introductory course, such as projectile motion and friction. It will return to topics studied at the introductory level using advanced mathematics, allowing more accurate modeling of complex scenarios. A secondary goal is to introduce students to some of the topics studied in theoretical physics, with a particular emphasis on cosmology and the development of the universe. A final goal will be to place modern, empirical physics within its proper philosophical framework, which ensures that the subjects explored by theoretical physics lead not to absurdity, but to beauty and truth. Pre-Requisite: OA Math 4 OR OA Math 3 and concurrently enrolled in Math 4; Algebra III and/or Trigonometry
Course: Grammar and Handwriting
Instructor: Mrs. Alecia Rolling, M.A.
Course Description: Grammar and Handwriting is designed for 6th-8th graders who need to shore up their grammar skills and handwriting. Harvey’s Grammar will be used as a firm foundation for lessons and writing assignments. Class time will be spent diagramming sentences, practicing grammar lessons, and improving handwriting. At Oxrose, we want to ensure the best success for our students, and a strong foundation in grammar sets them up for better success in classes like Logic, Latin, and Composition as they move into the high school years. Grade Levels: 6th-8th
Course: Music Theory 1 & Voice
Instructor: Mrs. Rebecca Beaucourt, M.A.
Course Description: This first course in the theory sequence develops proficiency with the diatonic materials of music, including scales, intervals, chords, root-position harmonic progressions, and voice-leading. Voice instruction is included throughout the year as part of the course as well. Students may take both or one or the other. See the Registration Form to register. Grade Levels: 11th-12th or by permission. Requisite: Must have a piano or keyboard at home
