Zion Classical Academy is Hastings’ first classical Christian school, serving students of all faiths from preschool to 6th grade. We are a school that exists to raise up loving, serving, thinking children and young adults through a quality liberal arts education. We teach students to think of themselves as disciples, each equipped with unique gifts. As they discover these talents, we encourage students to see themselves as more than just another future member of the workforce. Rather, they are individuals who are “fearfully and wonderfully made” by God to live well and virtuously, no matter their profession or pursuits in life. We believe that academic excellence is a byproduct of proper character education. Our students learn in a challenging and joyful environment surrounded by Christian teachers who understand this important mission.
