Whether you are exploring private school enrollment for a preschooler or considering an elementary or middle school transfer, our admissions team is ready to help. This page walks you through our programs, our enrollment steps, and how to schedule a visit.
Now Enrolling for the new School Year
Resurrection Lutheran School is accepting applications for the coming year, and our community grows one family at a time. The registration process for junior kindergarten through eighth grade begins in the fall with currently enrolled families and their siblings, and new-family applications follow. Applications for Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten are accepted on a rolling basis until each class reaches full capacity, so early inquiries are encouraged.
Many families who apply to our private school are not Lutheran, and that is by design. Resurrection is Lutheran in heritage and Christ-centered in daily practice, and we joyfully welcome Christian families of every background. If you value a faith-filled, academically strong environment for your child, you belong here.
Programs at Resurrection Lutheran School
Resurrection Lutheran School provides a learning environment that is academically rich for students in junior kindergarten through Grade 8. We follow North Carolina State Standards as a baseline while integrating national standards and extension activities, and we place a high value on writing across every grade. Below is a look at each stage of the journey.
Preschool and Full-Day Junior Kindergarten
Since 1984, Resurrection Lutheran Preschool has offered partial-day classes for children ages two to five, including transitional kindergarten, in a loving Christian atmosphere. Our full-day Junior Kindergarten complements that preschool programming for children who are four by August 31.
In Junior Kindergarten, the focus is to instill a positive attitude toward learning and build a foundation for a lifelong love of education. Through weekly unit themes rooted in a Biblical worldview, students explore diverse subjects and gain insight about the world around them. Before and after school care is available to support working families.
Kindergarten and Elementary, JK Through Grade 5
Our Kindergarten classroom has a dedicated full-time teacher and a teaching assistant to ensure children make a smooth transition into elementary school. Students learn to take responsibility for their own learning while using the fruit of the Spirit as a model for daily life. Kindergarten students must be five years old by August 31.
Across the elementary years, students build the skills that carry them through every future grade: independence, perseverance, communication, organization, and exploration. Specialists in music, physical education, art, library, and technology support gifted classroom teachers, and lessons are coordinated daily so that learning connects across subjects. Most importantly, each child is known and loved.
Middle School, Grades 6 Through 8
Our middle school program emphasizes collaboration, critical thinking, experiential learning, mastery learning, writing, leadership, and community service. The goal is a rigorous core curriculum that supports the whole student academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Graduates are prepared to make honors-level decisions in high school, and the majority go on to their local public high school.
Middle school highlights include:
- A high value on writing, with attention to both composition and intellectual depth
- An active, student-led National Junior Honor Society
- Community service and leadership opportunities woven into the school year
- Team and club sports, plus clubs, chorus, and drama
- Unique overnight travel opportunities and academic competitions
- The 8th grade Core 1 End of Course Exam for eligible students
