Cono Christian School, founded in 1951 near Walker, Iowa, by Max and Jean Belz, is a K-12 day and boarding school serving students from around the United States and the world.[1] Boarding students are generally in middle and high school.

This Christian boarding school began, and still exists as, a ministry of Bible Presbyterian Church (PCA). Max Belz was the pastor of the church at the time of the school's founding. He, Jean, and their eight children lived on the 1-acre (4,000 m2) of donated property where the church building was built. Today Cono has 200 acres (0.81 km2), 25 of which are developed with academic, athletic and student and staff residential facilities.

Class sizes are small and average six to eight students for a full academic program.
