Admissions

Process

Admission to Zion Christian School is open to all students who meet the academic, character and other requirements set forth in our bylaws. We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.

Submit an Admissions Inquiry
Step 1: Complete and Submit the Required Application Materials

Approval of new family enrollment applications begins in March each year. Please click here to start the application process. Current families can log into FACTS. New families will need to make an account to complete the online application. If you have any questions, email admissions@zionchristian.net.

Step 2: Submit Your Application Fees

The application fee of $100 per student is due by April 30 of the enrollment year. This is a non-refundable fee.

A $100 per student testing fee is also payable at the time of testing for all students who were homeschooled in their most recent academic semester before joining Zion Christian School in grades 1-12. 

Step 3: Complete and Return the Tuition Agreement Form

After your Application for Enrollment is received in the school office, you will be mailed a Tuition Agreement to be completed prior to August 1 of the applicable school year. You may find the most updated tuition information here. Tuition numbers are pending approval in May of 2025. Early childhood applicants will also be mailed a survey, the results of which will be used to confirm program selection.

Re-

Enrollment

Re-enrollment opens in February each year. To guarantee your family’s re-enrollment for next year, please complete your online re-enrollment and submit your $50 re-enrollment fee by February 28.

Beginning on February 3, you can log into the Family Portal page and click on Appy/Enroll, or use this link. Update as much information as you are able in order to ensure that our records are up-to-date. You must fill each required field.

To thank you for your diligence in completing this process in a timely way. You will be charged $50 per family if the form is completed by Feb. 28. Starting March 1, the fee increases to $100 per family.

Bus Transportation

Two daily routes service a large portion of our student body primarily with stops along the routes that service one or more families (known as cluster stops). We maintain two daily bus routes covering a wide geographic area. Below you will find a map of the current routes as well as a link to each individual route. Zion Christian School also provides transportation for field trips and extracurricular activities.

International Student Program

We count it a privilege to welcome students from around the globe to Zion Christian School. To facilitate its international student program, Zion works closely with Partners in Learning Across Cultures to screen applicants, make host family arrangements, communicate with parents, verify student insurance, and perform all other tasks related to the students’ living arrangements while enrolled at Zion.

Host Families

Serving as a host family for an international or exchange student is a great blessing for both sides! Host families receive $7,000 for the school year to cover student expenses. We also offer a $500 tuition credit for any family taking in an international student. Host families must subscribe to Parental Agreement A or B as defined in the Application for Enrollment.
