Mission Statement
Mount Zion Christian Academy is an evangelistic school, committed to the mission of promoting the holistic development of the child in Christ—spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and mentally, in a balanced, safe and disciplined environment.
Philosophy of Education
Our basic philosophy is that Christian parents and guardians have the primary responsibility for training their children. Mount Zion Christian Academy unites with the parents to assist them in fulfilling this responsibility. The academy takes a team approach to education. The team members include:
- the student
- the parent
- the teacher
- staff members
- portions of the community (especially the Christian community
- the church and academy administrators
As the team works together, everyone benefits.
MZCA must be a “safe place physically, psychologically, and spiritually” in order to properly educate students. We respect each student and insist that this respect is mutual and consistent with all students, parents, teachers, and administrators.
The aims of the MZCA education program are:
- To give God the glory in all things.
- To teach the fundamentals of the Bible, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, vocational and technical training.
- To provide a Christ-centered education that points the student to God (Colossians 1:16‑18).
