Thank you for your expertise and compassion over the past years. The Zion Academy program was just what my daughter needed. I appreciate everything you have done to help her and in making her an educated young woman. I especially appreciate your flexibility in determining her worthiness for this valued diploma. I am proud of her for giving her very best in all her assignments. I can only say that I hope and pray for you and all the attention you give to helping students in your ministry.
May GOD bless you and yours now and always is my prayer.
My son was a gifted and talented student through high school until we hit some hard bumps, he then was transferred to Can Academy of Ft. Worth and that was even worse, until I heard from another parent about Zion Academy.
Thanks be to God this was what we prayed to find. Someone that was willing to assist him on a one-on-one basis; and he graduated the 1st of this year! Thanks be to GOD!
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all at Zion Academy for all your help and support this past school year. You have been very nice and patient with us, even when my card was giving you problems. Your curriculum is excellent! I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to homeschool their child. The PACE’s are very easy to understand and are not overwhelming at all.
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to try your homeschool program.
Our son had attended eight schools by the time his ninth grade year came around. Some of those experiences we would like to not recall, but others are as bad, they just weren’t the right fit. With him having several learning differences, even the best of intentions from these schools weren’t hitting the mark. He either felt isolated in classes separated from his peers trying to “get help” with his studies. Or, he couldn’t keep up with the rest of the class if he were to stay in the group for all subjects. We started with Zion academy his ninth grade year and never looked back until he graduated. I saw more improvement in his reading writing and comprehension in the first six month than in all of his other schooling. We are forever grateful for Zion Academy! This was our saving grace! He is now a high school graduate! Something we once thought was out of our grasp.
I have truly enjoyed all the years I have spent with this school. I still think it hasn’t quite dawned on me that I will be graduating next month. It’s a very bittersweet feeling to think that this is my last year with the school, so when my mother had talked to me yesterday about composing an email to you about the differences of working in PACE’s and online courses and what I had liked and disliked about each of them I was more than happy to...
Thank you all so much for an absolutely wonderful year at Zion Academy. I can’t tell you enough how much you are all appreciated, and how much better my daughter is doing since enrolling with Zion. You have worked with me and my child, and I just can’t tell you Thank You enough!
Zion Academy has been such a Godsend for us...
Our three boys all graduated from Zion Academy! The first to graduate was our nephew whom we raised as one of our own. Due to major trauma in his life, the education through Zion Academy gave him the personal attention he needed to thrive. Our other two sons were in a very expensive, private school in which we were not impressed with the level of education and material taught there. As a family, we prayerfully made the decision to educate our sons, our way, through Zion Academy. We appreciated how simple assessments and options helped us to understand the needs of our sons; especially since they all had completely different learning styles. All three boys thrived, their grade-point averages increased, and their self-confidence soared.
Zion Academy of America was the perfect fit. I have home schooled all my children. My last one is special needs being a cross between high functioning Autistic and Asperger’s. she also suffered a brain tumor when she was an infant which left her ability to retain information at close to impossible. Public schools were no help and the teachers wrote nasty notes on her papers. I then decided to homeschool her. We spent years going over the same basic information and was getting nowhere. We tried K-12 that was worse than public school! I tried my own stuff. It worked a little but with little progress. with many tantrums and hours of crying and melt downs. We then tried Zion Academy.
My daughter has chosen Zion for her high school completion. There isn’t the extra credit {papers} to make sure you pass. You actually learn the program and know you are progressing as you should. Thank you to Pastor Lindsey, Mikki and all of the staff. Although I think late fees should be a litter more lenient I know you have to set deadlines and fees.
The school is a great way to spend time with your child and structure their learning based on wholesome materials.
Thank you for the wonderful curriculum you provided for my daughter. Our experience with your school was just wonderful.
Thank you so much for the educational materials and methodology that is providing an excellent learning opportunity for Giovante. We are so pleased. He has said he fells he is learning so much more than he did with his previous school. At this point, he wants to continue with the program another year!
We would like to take a moment to express our appreciation for the wonderful journey that it has been having our daughter enrolled in Zion Academy from 2nd grade until graduation. Our involvement has been nothing short of a wonderful bonding experience that has brought us closer together as a family and has allowed us to be personally involved in our daughter’s education. Because of the Bible-based format, she has grown into a young lady with great moral character and sound ethics. It’s hard to believe she has already graduated and we will not be an active part of the Zion family next year. We will forever be grateful for the guidance everyone there at Zion has provided and the educational memories gained as we watched our daughter progress year-after-year.
Thank you for the memories.
We just received our granddaughter’s grades and Diploma from Zion Academy. She only attended Zion for her senior year. Grade point average from Zion Academy was an average of 3.2 How we wish we could turn back the clock to give her more than 1 year at Zion. She would be able to go to any college she chose. Grateful to Zion, Meredith and the gang for all you did to ensure Anna met the requirements to graduate on time. She will be attending the local 2 year college on a partial scholarship to play fast-pitch softball.
Thank you so much!
My daughter graduated this year from your school and I wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all that you did for us. I never imagined that it would be 100 times better than public school. She was so discouraged and had very little self-confidence in public school. When she started at Zion Academy she became so much more confident! I think your school is absolutely amazing and my husband and I wish that we could have enrolled her sooner. I have recommended Zion Academy to several people we know and will keep recommending it!
Again, THANK YOU all so much! I could say it again and again and it still would not be enough to express our gratitude! God bless each and every one of you!
Thank you for your educational support during the COVID Pandemic virus. Zion Academy gave Ira and myself the assurance of no child being left behind. I can't say "Thank you" enough. My heart embraces your position to serve those in need of education, even from afar (outside the classroom).
