Who We Are
At Resurrection Christian School, we come alongside you and your child to build their relationship with Christ. We want your child to learn and truly know who they are in Christ through our Christian education.
Resurrection Christian School operates as a Covenantal School. In practical terms, this entails the adoption of a policy requiring at least one parent of each student to be a confessing believer in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior for their child to enroll at RCS. This covenant establishes a partnership between RCS and the family, emphasizing consistency in teachings at RCS, the family’s church, and practices at home. As a result, it is crucial for RCS families to engage in regular Christian fellowship outside of school activities, fostering a supportive environment for encouragement and spiritual growth.
We strive to be the best Christian school for each student by fostering a family environment where our students and their parents value our teachers and have staff who care about our students. Teachers will pray with and for students, and actively help students to grow in their relationships with Jesus. Our staff encourages, inspires, and pushes our students to do their personal best in every area of their lives.
Because we want to ensure that your child attends the best school in Loveland, students are also challenged academically along with receiving a Christian-based curriculum. In our classrooms, staff integrate the Bible into their lessons and provide space for students to discuss content and questions.
We walk alongside our students as they discover who they are in Christ, and we encourage them to pursue their relationship in Christ with all their hearts, soul, mind, and spirit.
