Zion Lutheran School provides quality Christ-centered education to equip students to serve others and to proclaim Jesus Christ in their families, community, and world.
The philosophy of Christian education comes from the Bible.
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Providing the solid foundation for this Christian education is a three-fold responsibility--home, church, and school.
At Zion Lutheran School, Christ is the center of all that we do.
We pray that God will continue to strengthen and preserve this Christ-centered approach to education.
