CURRICULUM
We offer a well-rounded Christian-based curriculum patterned after Minnesota state guidelines. What we teach and learn is done in relationship to God and His Word. A period of instruction for faith-building and Christian life growth is vital in every day’s activities. But equally as important is the interpretation of secular subjects in the light of God’s Word and guidance in Christian living.
Standardized testing
Standardized achievement and ability tests are given to students in grades K-8 each year. These tests measure Zion students against a representative national sampling. They are a tool to help us evaluate the student’s year-to-year growth and our program’s effectiveness.
Accreditation
Zion Lutheran School is accredited through the National Lutheran Schools Accreditation.
All teachers are certified and licensed by the Minnesota Department of Education.
