Mount Zion Christian Academy has been a blessing to me and my family. My son has grown spiritually, and academically.

Mount Zion Christian Academy provides an excellent curriculum. I would especially recommend this school to parents interested in having professional athletes as children. I enjoy every visit to the Academy and hope that you will too. MZCA also provides great counseling for any students who are in need.
... Read more No matter what the situation is, the students know that there is someone at MZCA or Mount Zion Christian Church that they can talk to. MZCA also starts school a year later than public schools. This allows students to mature before entering four year universities. At the school, students can recieve divine guidance and wisdom for everyday life. If I lived in the area and were old enough to be married and have children I would enroll them into MZCA. This fact is simply because of the spirit of excellence exemplified under the leadership of Pastor Donald Q. Fozard. Read less
