Rosa Venerini Academy St. Rosa Venerini (February 9th, 1656 – May 7th, 1728) made it her mission in the 17th century in Italy to save girls from ignorance by leading them onto a path of salvation and liberation through education. St. Rosa's religious congregation, known in Italian as the "Maestre Pie Venerini" maintains an international presence to this day. In her honor, Venerini has dedicated over seventy five years to provide academic, spiritual, and moral education to transform students into curious learners and enlightened leaders. We put them on a path of purpose-driven learning and success with the goal of forming them into engaged, faith-centered, and inspired students who are eager to know, love, and serve God and others​
