• Rosa Mystica Higher Primary School
Rosa Mystica Higher Primary School is the fruit of the far-sighted vision of the Servant of God Mgr. R.F.C Mascarenhas, the Founder of Bethany Congregation. It took its birth in 1939, a small step taken by Bethany, which has gone a long way in changing the face of Rosa Mystica as the school plays a vital role in catering to the all-round development and welfare of the students of backward classes and in the fulfillment of the vision, goal, and core values of Bethany Educational Society.
Currently, there are 625 Students with 11 Staff and 4 Substitute Teachers. They cater to the rural poor and the marginalized of the locality and others as well. The opportunities for the blooming of the students, including Karate, art, band, clubs, and bull-bull classes, are provided. The Headmistress, along with its staff, strives towards fullness of life imbued with the core values of Bethany Educational Society. While doing this, it aims at becoming an effective agent for the transformation of society.

• Rosa Mystica High School, Kinnikambla, Mangalore
Rosa Mystica High School was opened in the year 1958. As there was no facility for the secondary education of the children of this area, they had to travel to distant places like Bajpe or Kulshekar. Hence seeing this need, Sr Edburge, who was the Headmistress of the TTI, took the bold initiative to start a high school to cater to the educational needs of the children, especially those who pass out of Rosa Mystica Higher Primary School. So, 20th June 1958 became a red-letter day in the annals of Rosa Mystica as the High School was opened on this day.
In 1966, co-education was started. Rosa Mystica High School, with three sections in each, had the strength of 420 students. With the hard work of all Headmistresses and the committed services of the staff, the high school saw all-round development in the later years. In the year 2008, the Golden Jubilee of the school was celebrated.
The Headmistresses who served this institute are Sr Edburge BS, Sr Mithis BS, Sr Mariette BS, Sr Valentine BS, Sr Mediatrice BS, Sr Helmina BS, Sr Donalda BS, Sr Cicilia Mendonca, Sr Marie Ange BS, Sr Gloriosa BS, Sr Ivilla BS, Sr Vidya BS, Sr Joyceline BS, and currently Sr Lolita Pereira BS.
This institute has special blessings of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, who paid a visit to Rosa Mystica on 29th December 1980. In her address, she spoke about religious vocation and her concern about the poor in India and our duty to serve them.

Their memories are etched in gold in the hearts of all those who have passed the portals of this Institution. It is a matter of great joy that PU College started with 39 students in 2010 and has a strength of 300 on its roll at present. The students deserve to be acclaimed for their magnificent achievements and the Lecturers who guide them are indeed happy that they are instrumental in moulding the character of young people.

We, at Rosa Mystica believe that education is for both formation and transformation. Therefore we are on a determined journey toward building a humane, just, eco-friendly, and gender-sensitive society. Keeping in mind the charism of the Founder of Bethany, the college caters to the poor, the neglected, and other marginalized children of society and works for their all-round development, unmindful of the limited economic resources and benefits. Eco club of our college has conducted distinct programs like planting medicinal Herbs by reusing plastic bottles to promote the Eco friendly environment. Cartoon drawing with the theme of Nature, chart making, Essay writing, and the elocution competition. World Environment Day was observed to raise global awareness to take positive environmental action to protect nature and the planet Earth.

The efficaciousness of this balanced view can be seen in PU Board Exam results of the second year pre-university students wherein the college secured an overall percentage of 99.04, with Distinction and First class.
To echo the words of Brigham Young, ‘Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world’s work and the power to appreciate life’. We believe that all round development can be achieved through education as there is a prime need of striking a balance between syllabus, curriculum and co- curricular activities. We look forward with hope and greater commitment in this coming year to suffuse the life of every student with unlimited potential for incredible growth and learning. May Mystical Rose, the model and patroness of our students will enable to acquire this life as it is spelt out in its motto.
