We absolutely love Zion! I enrol our daughter in the preschool program and goes 2 days a week. Every day she asks me "is today a school day?" All the staff are amazing, warm and welcoming. She especially loves her teacher, Miss. Linda who is so caring, loving and respectful.

We have loved Zion Lutheran School for 14 continuous years. More importantly, our kids have loved Zion and all it has to offer. My daughter is currently enrolled and is not a member of the Church. She has thrived academically and spiritually in this safe Christian environment with teachers that she absolutely loves. Every teacher has been incredible. They have the expertise and experience to teach at the highest level. My child will leave here well prepared for high school. The size of the school is smaller than years past due to the economy but I like it that way. I would be selfish though if I didn't share and encourage others to come see for themselves. Words just cannot express how much we love and believe in this school.
