The campus of Rosa Mystica, ‘the garden of our Blessed Mother’ as our Founder called it, is perched on the top of a hill beyond the little hamlet of Gurpur. In the year 1945 the man of vision saw that if primary education had to be effective, we needed good trained teachers and so on July 2, he started the Rosa Mystica Teachers’ Training Institute (Lower grade) with Sr Macrina as its first Headmistress. Appreciating the Swadeshi Movement of Mahatma Gandhi, the Founder brought the Training Institute under the pattern of Basic Education that was gathering momentum in the country.

From 1952 the Institute had another section added for the training of teachers (higher grade). The lower grade system of training was discontinued due to the change in the pattern of general education and the Teacher Certificate Higher Grade Training continues.

The School is well equipped with a laboratory and a library provided by the Donor Agency, CEBEMO Holland. Sisters Edburge, Lelia, Theresine, Virginia and Divina, Concetta, Assumpta succeeded Sr Macrina as heads of this institution.  Presently Sr Grace Ida leads this renowned institution by carrying on the work in a dedicated manner with the help of her committed staff.  Right from its inception the Institute has a residential hostel for the trainees.
