Established in 1947, our school provides a faith-based, rich, and rigorous education for children from kindergarten through 8th grade in the heart of the Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco.
Our teachers and students work together as a community of learners, enlivened by a love of learning and a dedication to personal growth and academic rigor. We dedicate ourselves to helping each child discover and develop their gifts and talents as students, artists and athletes in a caring and compassionate environment that balances freedom with responsibility and service.
The teachers and staff at Zion are dedicated to providing a quality Christian education, to help students excel at math, reading, and writing skills, and to provide them with a solid foundation for high school. However, our goals for our students go beyond this. These goals include:
Live for Christ
Lead a life of godliness, wellness, and integrity
Love and serve one another
Learn for a lifetime
"Zion is no longer the best kept secret for private schools in San Francisco..."
"Great school....terrific community...first grade family community. Wonderful!"
"I love the personal attention my children get at Zion. The teachers and staff know each child by name and really care about them. They give 110% to the kids and school families in class, in clubs, and in community-building events. The curriculum gives them a really solid foundation in the basics but also builds in more advanced concepts and subjects. The extracurricular activities - sports, music, theater, languages, and others - provide really great opportunities for the kids and are quite wide-ranging, especially for a small school. I also love that Zion is a Christian school not just in name only; helping students grow in their faith is an explicit objective."
