Our Statement of Educational Philosophy

Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church and School, of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, is founded on the following eternal truths as revealed in God’s inerrant Word, the Holy Scriptures.

The Holy Scriptures are God’s inspired and inerrant Word (2 Peter 1:21, John 17:17) and are supreme in all matters of faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16,17). All truth is from God (James 1:17). Knowledge which contradicts the Scriptures is false (1 Timothy 6:3-5).

There is only one true God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19,20). He reveals Himself in the Holy Scriptures (Galatians 1:11,12). 

General School Objectives of Zion Lutheran Elementary School

 

The Christian education of Zion Lutheran School strives to provide faithfully for the eternal welfare of each child and to guide him in the maximum development of his spiritual, physical, and mental abilities given to him by God. The objectives of Zion are:

1. To nurture and strengthen the faith of each child;

2. To provide systematic and thorough instructions of God’s Word;

3. To teach all secular subjects in the light of God’s Word;

4. To strive for excellence in teaching the basic elementary curriculum;

5. To provide children with a Christian school community in which God’s Word rules supreme;

6. To give pupils an opportunity to live their faith in daily Christian fellowship;

7. To provide a rich devotional life centered in God’s Word;

8. To support Christian parenthood and home life centered in God’s Word;

9. To teach children to use their time, talents, and treasures to glorify God in a life of faithful service;

10. To encourage pupils to live as obedient citizens of their country; and

11. To strengthen the congregation and the church-at-large through the training of their future members.

The Parent

Parents are to have direct involvement with the education of their children. Although the child receives the majority of their education at school, parents are not to neglect their responsibilities. At Zion, parents are to be actively involved in their child's education. This can be done in many  ways, such as chaperoning on field trips, volunteering in the classroom and meeting often with teachers.
