Academics

A Comprehensive Education Experience from a Christian Worldview 

Academic standards for secondary courses in Seventh-Day Adventist Schools have been developed by teachers to guide an instructional program that is infused with Christian faith and an Adventist worldview. An education of this kind leads to strong academic growth and a clear picture of Christ and His love for us. These standards focus on what students should know, understand and be able to do.
