Zion Christian School is designed to give each child the best possible care outside home.
We do this by providing a Christian setting that encourages the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of each child.
Early childhood should be a time of warmth, security, exploration and discovery.
Our program strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in our students.
The goals are accomplished through the children's experiences of a warm and accepting atmosphere of Christian fellowship; here they are not pressured to succeed.
They will enjoy a world scaled to and planned for them.
It is our hope that the children's school experiences will enrich their home life.
The school is sponsored by Zion Lutheran Church and is operated by the School Board of Directors.
