K-8
Our school system is one that is based on what might be called the four R's, rather than just the traditional three. Within in the walls of places like Zion's elementary school and Mayer Lutheran High school, students are not only taught about reading, writing, and arithmetic, but they are constantly taught about relationships, specifically their relationship with their Savior Jesus Christ, and the resulting relationships he then creates between each of them.
