The teachers and administrative staff at Mount Zion are absolutely WONDERFUL. They are very attentive to the needs of each individual student. We moved from Dorchester District 2 to Charleston county and realized that the students here at Mount Zion are far more ahead in academics! We had to catch our kids up to speed within a week of relocating. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!! The teachers go above and beyond that which I have ever seen.

Mt Zion is a wonderful small, rural school. Their academic programs are tailored to every child (with many enrichment programs for the advanced learner). My sons are able to be involved in a variety of activities (african drumming, golf, tennis) through the 21st Centurty program. Classes are kept small which gives each child more individual time with the teachers. Nurse Abby is a wealth of information. Teachers return phone calls promptly and encourage parental involvement. I love Mt. Zion. Even better, my sons love Mt. Zion!
