Message From Dean
At Zollikon, one of our core values since our founding is Excellence. We believe that engaging in rigorous academic exercise and research fosters personal growth and equips individuals for competent service in a rapidly changing world, all while maintaining Anabaptist distinctives. We are currently offering two courses taught by outstanding business leaders in our community: Leadership, taught by Jim Smucker, and Financial Management, taught by Larry Troyer. Both of these men bring exceptional experience and humble character. We are planning additional professional development classes at our Walnut Creek campus this semester.

New Partnership With Kairos University
Through our partnership with Kairos University, interested and eligible individuals learning with Zollikon Institute may enroll in a Kairos University degree program and leverage the educational resources, mentoring, and support offered by Zollikon Institute as part of their Kairos journey. This is a great opportunity to boost your academic and professional growth and work toward gaining proficiency in one of the university’s competency-based programs! This new partnership complements our existing one with Malone University. It also allows students to learn from community partners like pastors and business leaders to demonstrate mastery of subject matter.
Help Us Expand on Highway 39
Join us in realizing Zollikon’s vision to expand our campus, creating new classrooms, a dedicated music space, a student and community fellowship area, and enhanced administrative support for a brighter future!
