The Adventist Advantage

Adventists know education.  Your child will benefit from the depth of experience we have in providing excellent education.  We're part of the Adventist education system which has been operating schools in North America since 1872, growing to more than 800 schools, from preschools through full universities.  

Adventists excel at education.  You can be confident your child will receive the foundation needed to achieve his or her dreams. 85% of students from Adventist schools go on to college (compared to 66% of public school students).  And more than 80% complete their college degrees (compared to 14% from public schools). In addition, a three-year research project with 51,000+ students (kindergarten through high school) documented multiple advantages of Adventist education.

  • Students in Adventist schools outperform. In comparisons with students in both public and private schools, researchers documented that Adventist students outperformed the national average, in all grades, 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.

Adventists educate the whole child. Your child will not only benefit from excellent academics but from a well-rounded approach to developing healthy bodies and positive social interactions. In our school we use music, art, daily physical education, experiential learning projects and community service to nurture our students spiritually, academically, physically and socially.

Adventists educate for eternity. As Protestant Christians, we believe a personal relationship with God is the key to a happy, healthy life here on earth and for eternity.  While this is harder to quantify, it is the focus of everything we do, the reason we exist.
