Evergreen Academy of Zion Lutheran Church represents the newest chapter in our 60+ year history of Christian education in Deerfield Beach.
We are committed to the growth and development of young children through Christ-centered encouragement and discovery. We offer a program for infants (ages 6 weeks and older) through Pre-Kindergarten.

We know that every family has different needs, so we offer full-time, part-time, and half-day options*. We are open every weekday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
* Half-day options are not available for every class.
“The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.” (Proverbs 28:1)
This year, our preschoolers at Evergreen Academy of Zion are embarking on a school-wide geography and community project—and every single child is getting their very own travel buddy!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN 3 EASY STEPS:
- Adopt & Name: Help your child fill out their official Adoption Certificate and choose a name for their lion. Write the lion's name on the Adoption Certificate and the ID tag around the lion's neck.
- Pack the Lion: Pack the lion in your child's backpack or keep it in the car so it is always ready for an adventure.
- Capture the Moment: Take photos of the lion out in the world. Every adventure counts! Each child can take their lion on big trips (airplanes, famous landmarks, theme parks, or beaches) or local adventures (the grocery store, the local park, the dentist, or Grandma’s house).
HOW TO SHARE YOUR PHOTOS:
We want to fill our Office Photo Wall and our school Instagram account! Please share your photos using one of these methods:
- Option A (Instagram): Post the photo on your public Instagram account. Tag us @evergreenofzion and use our official project hashtag: #greatlionadventure.
- Option B (Direct Message): If your Instagram account is private, your hashtagged posts won’t show up for us. Please DM the photo directly to our account @evergreenofzion.
- Option C (Email): No Instagram? No problem! Email your photos directly to kschmidt@zion-lutheran.org with the subject line “Great Lion Adventure.”
When posting or sharing your pictures, please share the name of your child’s lion and where they are or what they’re doing. By sharing your photos with us, you give permission for them to be posted to our school project Instagram page and displayed on our school office photo wall. We will never include identifying information online in photos that are emailed directly to us.
There will be special surprises and incentives for both the children and families that choose to participate throughout the year. We look forward to a great school year full of adventures!
