My daughter started at RCS this school year and I wish that we had sent her here all along. She came from public school, so she has had a lot of catching up to do. It was a struggle at first, but she loves it now that she is up to speed. Everyone is so nice and she has made so many friends. The building and its grounds are much nicer than most nearby Catholic elementary schools and the school has so much to offer.

After my children attended this school for several years, I realized that this school was not the place for us. First of all, this school is truly run by a select few parents. They control what and when it happens, and who gets what. The worst thing about this school is that many of the parents at this school attended catholic school for free in Philadelphia, and send their kids to this school because they feel that they are better than their neighbors. Many of them are at best middle class, and after a few years of financial trouble and seeing that their public school counterparts are doing better, they realize that sending their kids to this school was a mistake. If you live outside of Cherry Hill in a town with bad schools (Camden, etc) this is a good choice, but not worth it otherwise.

This is our first year at RCS, with our two children, and we could not be happier with our experience in every way! Coming from Cherry Hill public school, the difference is night and day. The curriculum at RCS is extremely well rounded, and we feel there is a healthy balance of subject matter and support of different learning styles. It is amazing how much more of a positive experience our kids are having at school now that they are not constantly being prepped for NJ public school standardized testing ("teaching to the test").The added bonus of being at RCS is how there is such an awesome sense of family and community. Every interaction we've had with faculty, other parents, and students has affirmed that we made the right choice.

Started my older child in Preschool at the age of 3. 7 years later and couldn't be happier with the School. My second child requires speech therapy and extra help and is doing great! Excellent education by caring Teachers, faith-based environment along with a loving welcoming community. Very blessed to be part of the RCS family.

My daughter has had a great Kindergarten experience so far. Our interactions with the staff have been very positive, particularly with my daughter's teacher Mrs. Lucci, the advancement director Mrs. Smith, the secretary Mrs. Clayton and the principal Mrs. Webb. My 2 nephews and 1 niece have also had a great experience at RCS.

We are having a great experience for our son at RCS Kindergarten. The community is so welcoming and the education is above my expectations.

Our son is attending RCS, and we find the teacher-student ratio and the classroom's attention to detail very rewarding. We also are impressed with the constant feedback we receive about our child, the school, and the catholic community.

My children both attended this school, with my last about to graduate, so we have been a school family more than ten years. This is a warm and welcoming community of educators, children, and families. Teachers go above and beyond, the new principal is outstanding, and I believe the education here is better than what the local public schools provide (for example, Cherry Hill public schools no longer teach grammar - you will get that her from the beginning). Middle school is strong as well, with science in particular outstanding. This is a faith-based education, where children really learn about their faith daily and practice it - you can't compare that to once a week CCD. While this school is not perfect (no school is), we highly recommend RCS.

My children have attended RCS for 5 years now and we love it! The teachers are very caring and dedicated. The students are happy, kind and have a lot of school pride. We have made many close friends with the other families and have developed an incredible network of support. I highly recommend Resurrection Catholic School.

My son started Kindergarten at this school, and I've seen tremendous improvements in his behavior and learning capabilities. Items he was behind in, he is now excelling in. He takes pride in everything he does and has been taking accountability for his mistakes. He comes home with a positive attitude and they truly teach these children positive morals and values. The curriculum is slightly more advanced than public education, which I feel will give him the upper hand moving forward in his education. They are constantly involved and giving back to the community. For a paycheck to paycheck family, the tuition is high, but definitely worth it if you're looking for alternative or high-quality education.

I am the parent of a second grader at RCS. When starting school in Kindergarten, my son was shy, lacked confidence, and he was dealing with issues related to separation anxiety. It was a very difficult time period for our family. However, when he started at RCS, we were welcomed and listened to...all of our concerns were addressed immediately. His teachers were helpful, compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable. We all worked together and I can proudly say that he is now outgoing, happy, smart, confident, and has developed positive relationships with all of the staff and students in the school. The family-oriented environment is so inviting and he feels safe and excited going to school every day. I am certain that RCS was a very large part of my son's success so far and our family is looking forward to the rest of his educational years being spent here.

I have been a teacher for over 30 years and have worked in several different environments. The dedication, cooperation and enthusiasm of teachers and staff is second to none. Every one of my colleagues is always willing to help a child who may be struggling. Each and every teacher and staff member does everything for the best interest of the students. It's a pleasure to come to work each day and I am thrilled to be part of a such a positive, dynamic, and Christian place.

I am a parent of 1st graders who had horrific experiences at a public school. Then RCS really helped my children get back smiles on their faces and enjoy learning again! Teachers give structure and rules in their classrooms but are also loving and compassionate all at the same time. What I loved most about this school is that all adults teach the children to love one another's faults and differences. Those differences are what makes us all unique. I loved that! This school also has diversity which was really important for us. We are very happy with the education from RCS and highly recommend them to anyone!

We are currently the parents of a 2nd grader and 8th grader. We couldn't be happier at Resurrection Catholic school. The teachers, principal and staff are very helpful and aware of everything. We have had a great experience at this school and would definitely recommend it.
