School Reviews

This past year was my first ever school experience as a parent. The teachers and staff at MZCS made it a smooth and peaceful transition for our family. My son LOVES school, his class, and his teachers! I love that his academic skills clearly improved over the year but his spiritual growth, as well. He comes home telling bible stories he learned, singing songs about God in addition to his ABCs, and wanting to pray for others. His first thought now when someone doesn`t feel good or is hurt is to pray for them. While we have encouraged that at home, it was reinforced at school just like the rest of the faith based lessons we teach at home.
