Letter from our Principal
Welcome to Risen Savior Academy!
At Risen Savior, we believe every child is a precious gift from God: uniquely created, deeply loved, and purposefully placed in our care. With God’s blessing, we strive to be the premier Christian school in Lakewood Ranch, where the lives of children and their families are eternally changed by the love of Jesus.
That vision shapes everything we do. Our classrooms are filled with both joy and purpose, where students grow strong in faith while being challenged to reach their full academic potential. Through engaging, hands-on learning and Christ-centered teaching, our students are equipped not only with knowledge, but with the character, confidence, and compassion to live out their faith each day.
As we continue to grow toward a full K–8 program, our commitment remains clear: to provide a safe, nurturing environment where students learn to love God, love others, and love themselves. We want every child to leave our school grounded in their identity in Christ and prepared to shine His light in the world.
It is my prayer that your family experiences the warmth, excellence, and partnership that make Risen Savior such a special place. I invite you to visit our campus and see firsthand what it means to grow Strong in the Lord.
Dillon Solomon
Risen Savior Academy Principal
