Kids need to be kids while they’re growing into functional, happy, better adults. And studies show that children who receive a balanced education that emphasizes mental, physical, and social growth and wellbeing do best throughout their lives. For Adventist schools, that means a focus on play and active learning, Bible-based curriculum, service to God and others, and meaningful experiences that show students where they fit in their communities and God’s master plan.

A rigorous curriculum blended with biblical truth

At all levels, our students are encouraged to learn, explore, and grow. Our teachers integrate faith into each aspect of the learning process, using a wide range of classes and activities to guide students as they develop important skills for success in school and in life. From grade to grade, rigorous learning experiences help students build on their existing knowledge and become proficient in their core subjects. Leadership, service, and mission opportunities are integrated into the program, building character and equipping students with important life skills.

A safe environment for body, mind, and soul

As Christ-centered educational communities, Adventist schools provide a welcome alternative to public institutions that cannot extend the safety net a Christian atmosphere provides. Since our classes and activities promote the development of a Christ-like character and habits that will last a lifetime, students of all races, cultures, and religions are welcome and respected.

"Our goal is for each of our students to EXCEL: To Experience Jesus, to Communicate clearly and think critically, to Embrace service and citizenship, and to Live healthfully in body and mind."

"Christian education is very important, especially in the kind of society we are living in today. With all the evil that surrounds us in this world, we need something to protect us, something we can hold on to. What we really need in the "real world" is God as our Savior and best Friend."
