Mt. Zion Christian School is accredited through the Association of Christian Schools International.

The Association of Christian Schools International was founded in 1978 and currently serves over 5,300 member schools in approximately 100 countries with an enrollment of nearly 1.2 million students. ACSI President Ken Smitherman stated, "I would claim that Christian schooling is not about running or hiding from - rather it is about embracing and pursuing the mind of Christ. It is about pursuing the real understanding of what it means to be salt and light, about transformation by the renewing of the mind."

Our K5 through 8th grade teachers are certified through the ACSI certification standards and participate in professional development throughout the school year and in the summer months.

MZCS uses proven methods of teaching academics. The biblically integrated curriculum incorporates foundation building, phonics, drills, visual aids, manipulatives, problem solving, and engaged learning in order to challenge our students. Our goal is to provide a challenging curriculum insuring that our students receive the highest standards of academic training and at the same time, instill a love for learning.

Our Bible curriculum provides an opportunity for our students to grow daily in the Lord. Through daily lessons and weekly chapel, our students are challenged to make wise choices in situations that confront them each day.  Scripture memorization is a vital exercise at MZCS.   It enables our students to know what God’s Word says, and therefore be able to act upon it.

The Language Arts curriculum trains and challenges the student to use the oral and written word as a powerful means of communication.  Composition, vocabulary, spelling, creative writing, poetry, speech, and literature are the avenues in which students receive the finest tools for success in the Language Arts arena.

Mathematics is taught with a focus on basics with an introduction to Algebra during the Middle School grades.  The students prepare for advanced math studies through interesting and challenging lessons.

History is presented from a Christian perspective, teaching the students that the hand of God is in human events.  World History, New World History, Geography, and American History are some of our topics that the students study.

Science is taught from the perspective of the founders of modern science.  This belief states that God is the Creator and Originator of the universe with it's order, provision, and logic.
