Why Mount Zion?
Equipping Students for God's Purpose
This has been our motto from day one. With CARE and COMPASSION while following Jesus, our goal is to prepare students for the NOW and the NEXT. Our alumni have entered many careers, colleges, and full-time ministry ready to step in to whatever God's plans are for their lives with passion and excellence.
MZ WAYS
"MZ WAYS are our five statements of culture and expectations for our community based upon aspirational values developed by our school board. We live, move, and breathe these statements as a part of who we are and how we interact with God and each other. It is through MZ WAYS that we set goals and measure our growth as students, teachers, and followers of Jesus. Yearly, every student and family who becomes a part of the Mount Zion community of learners are required to sign a commitment to uphold these values.
Life Worthy Learning
We acknowledge that the industrial schooling model of the last century will not serve students well in this century. At Mount Zion teachers don’t exist to be a knowledge source, they are leaders of learners and passionate learners themselves. Our goal is independent learners who are spiritually, academically, physically, and emotionally prepared for an unknown future.
Challenges at Work and Play
Part of learning and growing is about facing obstacles, problem solving, and being gritty enough to keep trying--even when things are difficult. At Mount Zion Christian Schools we provide opportunities for student to face challenges, whether that's while climbing tress on the playground, or building paper rollercoasters in 4th grade science. Collaborating with peers and learning through mistake-making are so important, and we are intentional as we challenge students so that they are ready and prepared for each developmental stage.
