If you're looking for a sound Christian education you've found it. Our grandson started school this year at Mount Zion, we had been homeschooling him but he needed other children to interact with, he is doing well at the school, the curriculum is challenging him, the staff loves and cares for the children, and the campus is a beautiful place. We couldn't be happier.
