The Mount Zion Christian Life Academy (CLA) is a certificate program granting institution with high academic standards.

Mission
To educate each student within a nurturing atmosphere so they receive both high quality course work and structured discipleship training which empowers them to maximize their spiritual growth and equips them for service that positively impacts the Kingdom of God.

History
In March 2003, the Senior Minister of the Mount Zion Baptist Church, Dr. Leonard N. Smith, shared his vision for a new system of religiously educating the membership of the Church. It was at that time that he presented that vision in the form of an initiative to develop and implement the Mount Zion Institute of Christian Education.

In December 2012, however, Dr. Smith was inspired to rename the Mount Zion Institute of Christian Education to the Mount Zion Christian Life Academy. The Christian Life Academy continues to optimize the religious education opportunities for the members with the mission and responsibility of “Training of Disciples to Impact the World.”

The Christian Life Academy held its first classes on March 19, 2013, and the vision and dream of Dr. Smith continues as students grow spiritually and serve in God’s Kingdom.

Christian Life Academy admits students of any race, color, or national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the Institute. Christian Life Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, and other school-administered programs.
