Zion Lutheran Academy provides classical Lutheran education in the inner-city of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Following the trivium method we provide our students with a true liberal education.
Along with the core curriculum using Saxon Math and Shurley Grammar students can expect to study Latin, music, theater, art and organized sports.
We begin every day with Matins, Morning Prayer, or a catechetical Latin prayer service.
We conclude the week with Compline. At the Zion Lutheran Academy the gifted student is challenged and the struggling student is nurtured.
