Rosaryhill School (Chinese: 玫瑰崗學校) was a co-educational school in Hong Kong, offering kindergarten, primary and secondary education. The school was founded in 1959, and was closed in 2024.

History

The school was founded by the Dominican Order in 1959 as the Dominican Primary School, at the site of the St. Albert the Great Priory. Since the establishment of Rosaryhill School, the position of Supervisor has always been filled by Dominican priests.

In 2007 the Kindergarten Section of the school was separated to become the Rosaryhill Kindergarten. The Business Studies Section was discontinued in 2012; in 2017 the Secondary Section was separated as the Rosaryhill Secondary School.

In September 2023, Rosaryhill announced that it would cease operations at the end of the 2025-26 school year; the secondary section would be transferred to Yu Chun Keung Memorial College No 2 in Pok Fu Lam, while the primary and kindergarten sections would be given over to Dalton School Hong Kong. Later the closure date was moved to the end of the 2023-24 school year, two years earlier than originally announced; the school officially closed on 13 July 2024.

Sections

At the time of its closure, the school had three sections: kindergarten, primary, and secondary. In the past, it offered business studies.
