We love the friendships and the community. We love being able to learn in various ways from different moms who have lots to offer. We love the feeling we get when we attend Zion's. We always leave feeling uplifted and in good spirits. Not matter what else the day throws at us, we always reflect back on Zion's and smile. It's always a good time. The moms/kids there are so amazing and wonderful! It's a good group of people with common goals and ideals. My kids love the lessons. They love the lunch break to sit and eat with friends and then the opportunity to go play before getting back to learning. They love the friendships they've made and that is a huge blessing to us!

If your looking for a fun, safe, group of families where values are cherished then you have found the right place. I have never been involved in a co-op before so I didn't quite know what to expect. Zion’s has been everything I would think it could be and nothing I didn't think of. I wished this had been around years ago I probably would have never put my older sons in school after homeschooling them for a few years and maybe pulled my older daughters out of school.

My kids love getting to know the other moms and all the fun crafts. I think they like being around other kids too. I love the support I have been feeling. I love being surrounded by others who are different but similar who also share a desire to homeschool. I have felt more like I'm a treasure instead of a weirdo.

My kids love the friendships and cool things they learn from other moms. I love the date nights and wholesome values that Zions encourages.

Zion's Academy is a great co-op for kids and moms to meet new people and make friends. It is an uplifting environment where Mom's rotate teaching lessons based on the Well Educated Heart. There are opportunities for kids to try new crafts, games and activities while learning about different countries, cultures, and hero's. Zion's Academy requires a family commitment to be there every week in order to keep it functioning well and is highly recommended for those able to make that commitment.

Zion's Academy is such a beautiful community of mothers and children (and fathers) who desire to make this world a better place by contributing and striving to be a disciple of Christ. We love the connections we have made and the friendships we have started. I love that we all participated in building this community and inspiring each other to learn and grow.

Zions is a place for families to grow together!

There's nothing like it. It's community, it's a safe place for learning, Jesus is welcome and frequently invited, children are safe and happy, mothers are learning and growing, fathers have a place to find support and recreation. It's all about the family, about the heart, about working to keep the most important things the most important things.

I enjoy all the different styles of teaching that the moms bring to each lesson. The kids have loved the friendships they’ve created and the different topics each week.

I'm grateful for a safe place where we can leave our home and learn and contribute with friends.

Date Nights for the win! We've really enjoyed having date night each month. Fun activities, good food, lots of laughs (especially when we share how-we-met-and-got-married-stories!), quality time with my wife. Date night was hard to fit in, but it's a highlight now. It's nice to have a place to belong as a homeschool dad.
