Students in Adventist schools outperform. In a three-year study of 51,000+ students in Adventist schools (kindergarten through high school), researchers documented that they outperformed the national average. At all grade levels. In schools of all sizes. And in all subjects.
Students in Adventist schools overachieve. Additionally, researchers compared student performance on standardized tests with what would be predicted based on their Cognitive Abilities Test scores, and found they performed above what would be predicted.
Students in Adventist schools gain even more with time. One of the most dramatic findings is that students who transferred to Adventist schools saw a marked improvement in test scores. Furthermore, the longer students are in Adventist schools, the better their achievements and abilities.
Our goal is to develop Christians with wisdom, not just knowledge. So we’ve structured our academic program to nurture our students with God’s love and instill their hearts and minds with a sense of love and respect for others and commitment to serve their communities.
Making healthy choices is a way of honoring our bodies. Plenty of research documents the importance of healthy bodies in developing healthy brains. So we include learning about taking care of our bodies with daily exercise, good sleep, healthy eating, and more.
To see how we integrate wise lifestyle choices into our curricula, come visit our campus.
Loving and serving others is part of God’s plan for each of us and something we practice daily. As we interact with each other here at school and as we practice service in our community, we are guided by Paul’s words, “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” (Ephesians 4:2) While we are not perfect, we are constantly aiming to be more Christ-like with each other and to serve our community. Come see how this influences our students with a visit to our campus.
Extra-curricular Activities/Programs
We started our first child in Kindergarten in 2018 and have enrolled three students. The teachers, aides, and supporting volunteers make school more than just a place to learn numbers and letters. They teach practical, basic principles to become respected citizens that can contribute to our community, state, country, and world and at a young age. We have peace of mind knowing what we teach in our home continues seamlessly during the school hours without having to homeschool, which you cannot say for the majority of schools today. My wife and I were born into first generation immigrant families and both were blessed to have Adventist education from kindergarten to our college degrees. The level and quality of the curriculum from our educational experience, encouraged us to strive for excellence and to obtain a trade or degree in order to support ourselves, our family, and those in need in our community. School is an investment that reaps benefits that lasts a lifetime and even eternity. One more thing…YES, THEY DO TEACH CURSIVE!
I’m a certified/credentialed elementary school teacher, and I’m passionate about sharing God’s love, teaching my students to think critically and empowering them to serve.
