At Zeeland Christian, we have a passion for teaching and for helping young Christians grow.
All of our teachers meet or exceed state requirements, and they meet even higher standards: those they set for themselves.
Each teacher at Zeeland Christian School is dedicated not only to quality education, but also to helping children grow in Christ.
Each believes very strongly that developing relationships with students is the best way to lead them in their Christian walk and to encourage them to achieve academic excellence.
This philosophy permeates our approach to instruction impacting students from preschool age to those in eighth grade.
Our philosophy at Zeeland Christian demands that we do everything to the honor and glory of God, that we get to know students as completely as we possibly can, and that we provide an education that will prepare them for a life of kingdom service in this community or wherever our students live.
Our mission is to challenge the mind, nurture the spririt and encourage obedience to Jesus Christ.
