What Makes Resurrection Special

When selecting a school and community for your child and family, many factors need to be taken into account. We feel what differentiates Resurrection School are the following:

✓ The hallmark of our education is our faith, our Catholic values and our weekly Mass. Resurrection School is one of the few Catholic schools in the Diocese of San Jose to attend Mass weekly, providing our students the opportunity to practice their faith with their peers and to participate as prayer leaders of the weekly celebration.

✓ Our strong academic program expands our curriculum to include foreign language, life skills, values, fine arts, and technology into the daily curriculum. We are fully accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association, and we have strong standardized scores at all grade levels.

✓ Our innovative approach incorporates the use of technology in the classroom. All students in TK-8th grade are assigned an iPad.

✓ Our enrichment classes include Spanish twice per week for all grades except for 5th (which is one weekly extended class). Music is offered once per week in TK – 5th grade, art is offered biweekly for all grades, and P.E. is offered twice per week for all grades. Life Skills classes, which feature guest speakers from various career paths, are offered once per week for 6th-8th graders.

✓ Our classroom sizes enable our teachers to connect with our students on a deeper level. Rather than getting lost in a sea of classmates, they have the opportunity to be leaders in the classroom. Our class sizes means our teachers are able to give your student much more individualized attention, and can more readily cater to their specific needs. Students are known by name not only to their teacher and classmates, but by everyone at the school.

✓ Our values shine with our strong buddy system matching our older students with our younger students. This buddy program continues throughout the child’s tenure at Resurrection School and encourages our students to be thoughtful, unselfish, and understanding with their younger buddies. The bonds that develop are evident as many high school graduates return for their buddy’s sacraments, celebrations and other special occasions.

✓ Our large 10 acre campus encompasses several grassy areas for recess, P.E. and after-school sports play.  Our parking lot is large enough to accommodate parents in the mornings and afternoons.

✓ Our number one strength is our community, our students, our staff, clergy, families and alumni. Feedback from many families who have moved out of the area is to “treasure your community at Resurrection; it is a special place full of love and caring individuals.”
