What I loved about going to Mount Zion was the environment of love and family while going there. Everyone was like family, and if you were new you would get accepted and have lots of new friends that are like your second family. I learned a lot from my bible class and took all of that information with me to use in my life. I can say that personally I learned a lot overall from all of the classes I took at Mount Zion.

I'm a 2020 alumna of Mount Zion Christian Academy. I recently graduated with honors and was my class's Valedictorian. The school is awesome, not perfect, but awesome. Not only do the teachers teach you from the books and all but they connect to your overall life. At Mount Zion, there's no sugar coating but there's complete transparency. You have a question about life itself guaranteed it will be answered. If you're looking for a place to connect with God and learn more about Him, Mount Zion is your place.

I would not recommend this school. I thought I was giving my child a real education but fell incredibly short. Things that should have been taught were replaces with things like speaking in tongues. Just gross.

I've been at MZCA for quite a while now, and since I've been here, I've grown spiritually and academically. This is my 9th year here at Mount Zion Christian Academy, and I am currently in the 10th grade. I've seen so many successful people come from this school, and some unsuccessful people,but it's...
