Zion Christian Academy International

Zion Christian Academy International was established as a Christian school to reach boys and girls with the gospel and to provide a place for them to thrive academically. Our mission is to provide biblical guidance, an excellent education, and empower students in a multicultural environment to grow up to become productive and influential citizens in their society and beyond.

The philosophy of Zion Christian Academy International is to provide a quality education in an atmosphere that adheres to the highest Christian values. We use the Abeka curriculum, which is designed to meet the highest standards and requirements of equivalent levels of education in the United States of America. Zion recognizes its responsibility to provide an opportunity for each student to develop his or her God-given talents to the fullest extent possible. The school strives to instill in students a sense of obligation (1) to God, (2) to fellow students, (3) to society, to have respect for authority and respect for themselves. Furthermore, as an overseas school, we recognize our obligation to help students understand the relationship between their own society and other societies, such as our host country of Japan and Pacific Rim Nations.

Statement of Faith

• We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
• We believe in one triune God, eternally existent in three persons of Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit: these are one in essence, but distinct in person and function.
• We believe in the deity of Christ, in His vicarious and atoning death, the His shed blood, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, the agent of conviction, regeneration, and by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those that are saved to the resurrection of eternal life in heaven, and those that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

The vision for a Christian school came from their desire to see their children (Jamie and Joshua) receive a quality education that was Christ-centered and excelled in academic excellence.

Students at Zion Christian Academy International are motivated to excel academically with the Abeka curriculum. Every teacher at Zion is passionate, dedicated, and enthusiastic about each student in their classroom. Our teachers at Zion share a common goal: to teach, model, and encourage each student to excel academically. Our teachers are driven by the desire to foster students’ abilities to think both independently and critically, discovering and refining their gifts to positively affect the world around them. Through cultivating a desire to learn, we hope to build such characteristics as Integrity, Courage, Determination, Excellence, Accountability, Discipline, and Loyalty.

In order to allow its teachers to get to know each student on an individual basis, Zion strives to maintain small class sizes. This gives the teachers further insight and guidance into how to appropriately help each student.
