Adventist education seeks to develop a life of faith in God and respect for the dignity of all human beings; to build character akin to that of the Creator; to nurture thinkers rather than mere reflectors of others’ thoughts; to promote loving service rather than selfish ambition; to ensure maximum development of each individual’s potential; and to embrace all that is true, good, and beautiful.
An education of this kind imparts far more than academic knowledge. It fosters a balanced development of the whole person—physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Working together, homes, schools, and churches cooperate with divine agencies in preparing learners for responsible citizenship in this world and in the world to come. Evidence suggests that faith-based education provides distinct advantages to students and your whole family. Schools do their best to make this education affordable to any family that wants it, always offering the most economical tuition package possible.
Every single Adventist elementary school is staffed by caring men and women fully committed to the idea that heaven is a real destination, and that Jesus is the Savior and Friend of every child who seeks Him.
Adventist schools excel in academics, achieving high scores on standardized achievement tests, and boasting a strong curriculum including STEM activities, as well as the arts and humanities. Frequently updated textbooks, offer the current and cutting-edge information students need to develop critical thinking skills and curiosity about the world. The Word of God is integrated into all subject areas, and students explore the major themes of the Bible in a way that is gracious and respectful of other faiths and perspectives.
Adventist education has always been focused on the relationship between mind, body, and spirit. We do not keep our heads in books all the time. Kids in Adventist schools are in choirs; they are active in art classes and soccer leagues. They go on field trips and weekend mission adventures. They excel at water rafting and perform in chamber orchestras. Our kids are well-rounded, happily learning about their talents and strengths, and preparing for the next challenge with faith in God to help them achieve.
Teachers in Adventist schools are fully trained; their credentials are updated, and their teaching techniques are rigorously checked and freshened. Our teachers in the Pacific Union believe that every student can learn and are working to implement a standards-based learning environment and actively differentiate instruction for each student. They aim to help each young person answer the most essential questions of young adulthood: Who will I be, what will I be, and how will I honor God through my life?
Adventist schools strive to ensure that students achieve to their full potential that each student is prepared for the next level of education and for life. Adventist schools exist to provide academic excellence in an atmosphere where they will come to know Jesus.
