The Mission and Identity of Resurrection Lutheran Academy
“Growing by the Cross”

MISSION STATEMENT: Resurrection Lutheran Academy -- planted, nurtured and growing by the Cross -- provides a Christ-centered environment for academic excellence, while cultivating a lifetime of spiritual growth and service to God.

ACKNOWLEDGING PARENTS AS THE MOST VITAL EDUCATORS OF THEIR CHILDREN, WE BELIEVE THAT A LUTHERAN EDUCATION MUST:

Train and nurture children in the way of Christ for life as Christian people;
Provide high academic excellence in preparation for service to God, church and community; and;
Cultivate each child’s God-given potential by developing his or her mental, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual gifts.

“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
–Proverbs 22:6

Resurrection Lutheran Academy (RLA) and Preschool are owned and operated by the Michiana Lutheran Education Association, Inc. (MLEA). The MLEA operates under the doctrine and practices of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, with its membership open to all Lutheran congregations in the greater South Bend area. By the grace of God, Resurrection Lutheran Academy exists in order to provide a Christ-centered Lutheran education for the families of this community.

Children are a heritage from the Lord. Resurrection Lutheran Academy desires to assist parents in helping their children grow up knowing and believing in their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and learning to live as faithful, responsible, Godfearing citizens in the world wherever God has placed them. To this end, it is our goal to provide a high quality education and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with children and their families in an atmosphere committed to the Christian faith as revealed in the Bible and confessed by the Lutheran Church.

SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR NAME: “Resurrection Lutheran Academy”

RESURRECTION
The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus on Easter is God’s own proclamation that the Cross and Crucifixion of Christ were not His defeat, but the hour of His Glory and His victory over Satan. As Christians, we believe that our entire life in this world is lived (by grace) under the Cross, in the certain hope of the Resurrection. For we have been buried with Christ by our baptism into His death, and thereby also raised with Him in His Resurrection for new life. We are growing by the Cross, therefore, in the hope of the Resurrection.

LUTHERAN
In identifying ourselves as Lutheran, we proudly confess that we belong to the one, holy, catholic and Apostolic Church of all times and places: and that we are committed to the Christian faith as revealed in the Holy Scriptures and faithfully explained in the Lutheran Book of Concord of 1580 and all other official Lutheran Church Missouri Synod documents as found at www.lcms.org.

ACADEMY
We describe ourselves as an Academy, instead of a school, to communicate our emphasis on high quality and firm, but loving discipline.

SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT

“Acknowledging parents as the most vital educators of their children”
We understand from God’s Word that the responsibility of rearing children belongs to fathers and mothers. God has given many of His people this special blessing and the responsibility of rearing children, and part of that responsibility includes their education. The Academy cannot take the place of parents, but parents can rely on Resurrection Lutheran Academy to assist them in this God-given responsibility.

“Train and nurture children in the way of Christ for life as Christian people”
There is nothing in life more important than the story of Christ’s death on the Cross and His Resurrection. Christ died for each one of us, and there is no greater gift that any of us can ever receive. Our lives are shaped and guided by this proclamation of the Gospel. It’s not just information to be learned but a way of life to be lived.

“Provide high academic excellence in preparation for service to God, Church and community”
Everything we have is a gift from God. Our proper response is to give our best in return. Therefore, as a Lutheran Academy we strive for excellence in all academic endeavors. We recognize the various academic subjects (reading, writing, and arithmetic, along with the arts and humanities) as part of God’s good gift of creation, a portion of what is meant by daily bread. A thorough grounding in these academic subjects prepares the children of RLA for a lifetime of service in their families, communities and congregations; whereby they will serve the Lord in faith wherever He places them in their world and life.

“Cultivate each child’s God-given potential, by developing his or her mental, social, physical, emotional and spiritual gifts”
RLA strives for the holistic education of children in all aspects of life. The entire academic day, as well as the physical environment of the Academy, fosters the development of the whole child in his or her relationship to the Holy Triune, God and His Church, to parents/guardians and other authorities, to peers and colleagues, and to the world in which we live. We also believe that each child is uniquely created by the Lord, and personally called by His own Name in Holy Baptism, for a particular calling and place in the world.

COMMITMENT OF RESURRECTION LUTHERAN ACADEMY

Resurrection Lutheran Academy is committed to forging a partnership with parents in the education of their children, including instruction in the Christian faith. This education is guided by the following principles:

A world view that is God-centered rather than people-centered.
Honor and respect for those in authority as representatives of God.
The centrality of the Gospel of forgiveness for Christ’s sake in the Christian life and the Church.
A partnership and involvement with parents in their children’s education and spiritual growth.
An education that will introduce children to the beginnings of reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, history, literature, music and art.
Academic standards, which aim toward excellence and achievement.
The teaching of singing and music, in service to the Church and for the prayer life of God’s people.
Faithfully teaching the Holy Scriptures and passing on the language of our Christian faith, so that the children learn how to receive God’s gifts in the Divine Service, how to pray, how to confess and how to live where God has called them to live with faith in Christ and love toward one another.
The importance of daily prayer and the Divine Service of the Gospel and the Sacraments.

COMMITMENT OF PARENTS

The active support and involvement of parents in the education of their children are vital to the success of Resurrection Lutheran Academy. Thus, it is important that all parents who send their children to the Academy understand our Lutheran approach to education, and be willing to share and work together with us in this task. For this reason, RLA seeks to be very clear and open about whom we are as an Academy, what we believe as Lutherans, and how we train and nurture children providing them with academic excellence and cultivating their God-given potential. We ask parents, in turn, to be honest with us in their commitment of support and involvement in this education of their children.
