Where do we even begin? It is hard to summarize all of the resons why we love ZSJ into a few short sentences. The most important aspect, we feel, is that our daughter is recieving a Christian-based education. She is learning lessons that will stick with her far into life past her school years. Students are taught respect and morals--a priority at ZSJ. The teachers are second-to-none. They take a personal interest in each individual student; the small class size helps with that. Teachers push (encourage) each child to excel accademically. As parents, we love the tight-nit family feel. Take a look at ZSJ...we think you'll like what you see!

Zion-St. John Providing a Christian atmosphere that strives to develop each student's spiritual, intellectual, and emotional growth.

Zion-St. John's roots can be traced back to the 1800's.  St. John Lutheran Church of Germantown founded its school in 1879.  Twenty-five years later, Zion Lutheran Church of Paullina organized its Christian day school.  Both schools provided excellent opportunities to give daily instruction in Christian teachings for its students from Kindergarten through Grade Eight. In 1976 the two schools consolidated to form Zion-St. John.  Though the schools have a long history, the education provided is definitely not old-fashioned.
