Academics

ACADEMIC OVERVIEW

Students at Zion Christian Academy International are motivated to excel academically with the Abeka curriculum. Every teacher at Zion is passionate, dedicated, and enthusiastic about each student in their classroom. Our teachers at Zion share a common goal: to teach, model, and encourage each student to excel academically. Our teachers are driven by the desire to foster students’ abilities to think both independently and critically, discovering and refining their gifts to positively affect the world around them. Through cultivating a desire to learn, we hope to build such characteristics as Integrity, Courage, Determination, Excellence, Accountability, Discipline, and Loyalty.

In order to allow its teachers to get to know each student on an individual basis, Zion strives to maintain small class sizes. This gives the teachers further insight and guidance into how to appropriately help each student.

CURRICULUM

Zion Christian Academy International utilizes both Christian and secular curricula. Along with the Abeka curriculum, we incorporate ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) materials, as well as approved texts from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Wright Group/McGraw-Hill, and other leading book publishers. This is in order keep our students informed with the current United States educational (Department of Education) standards.

All subjects in all grades are taught in accordance with acceptable US Department of Education expectations and standards. As Zion strives for excellence, some of our students may be enrolled in more advanced courses associated with Zion. Our secondary students will be challenged to take more demanding classes in our Direct Distance Learning Programs.
