Calvinist churches spread throughout continental Europe and the rest of the English-speaking world, including North America, where their best-known representatives have been the Puritans and the Presbyterians. |

) A Lutheran School... Picture this: a place where people rejoice in life and live under the gracious goodness of our loving God. A place where children are touched in ways that last forever. Zion-St. John develops the characteristics necessary for success as a citizen and as a Christian in adult life. Children in the elementary years are helped to develop values and to learn the basics for successive years of education. At this level, we believe providing a quality education is vital, especially from a Christian value-centered point of view.
Zion-St. John's roots stem back to the 1800's. St. John Lutheran Church in Germantown founded its school in 1879. Twenty-five years later Zion Lutheran in Paullina made the same commitment for its students. In 1976 the two schools consolidated to form Zion-St John, yet the education received is anything but old fashioned. A computer lab used by every student K-8, internet access, a music program including all grade levels and athletic competition are among the opportunities Zion-St John gives its students. But most important of all, Zion-St John offers a Christian atmosphere that allows us to address all the student's needs: intellectual, emotional, & spiritual. |
