Out of the classroom, Roselle students have access to three fully equipped computer labs, including the state-of-the-art John Korn Computer Center as well as a cutting-edge Publication Center.

Computer access enhances research, learning and personal exploration in our library and aids in S.A.T. prep and college and career counseling in our Guidance Department.

Founders Scholars Program

The Founders Program is an accelerated program of studies designed to enable highly-motivated and qualified students to excel in academics. It also includes enrichment opportunities and extra-curricular activities so that participants fully experience the academic and spiritual benefits of a Roselle Catholic education.

The combination of Scholars Program curriculum, enrichment experiences and extra-curricular activities is designed to prepare students to be among the top candidates for admission into major colleges and universities.
