About
Resurrection Catholic School is a private Catholic school serving approximately 500 students in PreK 3 through eighth grade throughout the Greater Lakeland area. As a ministry of Resurrection Catholic Church, we are rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and committed to educating the whole child through academic excellence, faith formation, and opportunities for leadership and service. Our mission is centered on the four pillars of Compassion, Character, Knowledge, and Service, which guide every aspect of school life and prepare students to become faithful disciples, lifelong learners, and responsible citizens.
Why Resurrection Catholic School?
At Resurrection Catholic School, our teachers create a safe, nurturing environment where students are challenged through rigorous, hands-on learning experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Learning extends beyond the classroom through field trips, guest speakers, service opportunities, and collaborative problem-solving activities that connect classroom instruction to real-world experiences and foster meaningful academic growth.
Our teachers have the professional autonomy to bring the curriculum to life by designing engaging lessons that meet grade-level standards while encouraging students to become active participants in their learning. This balance of academic rigor and innovative instruction helps cultivate a lifelong love of learning.
As a school within the Diocese of Orlando, Resurrection Catholic School has earned a reputation for strong academic achievement, with students consistently performing above the national average on standardized assessments. While academic excellence is a priority, our greatest measure of success is the formation of students who know and love Jesus Christ, demonstrate compassion, character, knowledge, and service, and are prepared to become faithful, responsible, and productive members of their communities.
As a ministry of Resurrection Catholic Church, we proudly embrace our Catholic identity while warmly welcoming students and families of all faith traditions.
Our Academics
At Resurrection Catholic School, we are dedicated to fulfilling our mission by nurturing each student's faith, academic growth, and personal development. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, we guide students in developing a lifelong relationship with God while fostering Christian values through prayer, worship, service, and daily interactions.
We are committed to providing a rigorous academic program that challenges students to think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate with others, and solve complex problems. Our teachers create engaging, hands-on learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning while meeting the individual needs of each student. Through high expectations, innovative instruction, and meaningful learning opportunities, students are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in high school, college, and beyond.
We believe every child is uniquely gifted by God. By cultivating intellectual curiosity, resilience, and confidence, we prepare our students to become lifelong learners who are ready to thrive in an ever-changing world while living lives rooted in faith and guided by Christian values.
Student Life
As Eagles at Resurrection Catholic School, our students soar through a wide variety of opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom. We believe a well-rounded education includes experiences that foster leadership, creativity, collaboration, and personal growth while allowing students to discover and develop their unique God-given talents.
Our extensive extracurricular activities, clubs, fine arts opportunities, and athletic programs encourage students to explore new interests, build confidence, develop teamwork, and strengthen their individual gifts. These experiences complement our rigorous academic program and help students grow intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually.
Living out our Catholic faith is an integral part of the Resurrection experience. Students actively serve others through service projects, charitable outreach, and school-wide fundraisers that cultivate compassion and a commitment to servant leadership. Our school community is especially proud of its longstanding support of our diocesan mission in the Dominican Republic, providing students with meaningful opportunities to put their faith into action while making a positive impact on the lives of others.
