What our families say

MZCS has been the first school where my daughter has truly felt like she belongs. From the values being taught daily to the way the teachers intentionally pour into each child, the impact is undeniable. We love the hybrid structure and the two at-home days are thoughtfully organized and manageable, which makes learning feel balanced rather than overwhelming. Her school life quality has improved so much, and the friendships she’s built are the most genuine I’ve ever seen her have. I truly believe that reflects on the culture the teachers and staff have created! We are incredibly grateful to be part of the MZCS community.

What a wonderful blessing and answered prayer Mt. Zion Christian School has been for our family. Watching our kids grow and deepen their knowledge and understanding both academically and spiritually has been a delight.

C. Hull

We are new this year at MZCS, and we could not be more thankful for our time here. Our son has felt at home from his first day here. At MZCS, he has found a safe place to learn and grow. The teachers and administration truly have the kids’ best interests at heart. The smaller class sizes allow for teachers to connect with each individual student and provide for different needs and learning styles. The administration and staff have also lovingly spoken truth over my son and pointed him to Jesus. We are so appreciative of all that MZCS has done for us.

Be connected to your child's education.

Enjoy being an integral part of your child’s education with the confidence that they are being equipped for the years ahead.

Prepare your student academically for college

Equip your student to be a light for Jesus

Partner with teachers through the whole process

Imagine your child's education being Christ-centered and college-bound

At MZCS, education follows a unique University-Model® approach. Students attend in-person classes three days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri). The other two days, students work on their studies at home alongside their parent who serves as a co-teacher. Both student and co-teacher follow a teacher-created lesson plan, strengthening their partnership and characterizing the University Model School (UMS) experience.This approach gives families more quality time, with minimal homework or even none at all, during evenings and weekends.
