Adventist Education
1
Pray for our Schools, Teachers, and Students For more than a century there have been Seventh-day Adventist schools here in the Pacific Southwest. Across many years and
generations, our vision has remained constant: for every learner to excel in faith, learning, and service, blending biblical truth
and academic achievement to honor God and bless others. The
leadership, faculty, and staff in our schools across the Pacific Union are working through the challenges of providing safe and effective instruction for their students—both online and onsite, depending on their local regulations and circumstances.
During these extraordinary times, our schools are all rededicated to the ideals of Christian Education articulated by Ellen G. White: “Our ideas of education take too narrow and too low a range. There is need of a broader scope, a higher aim. True education means more than the pursual of a certain course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come” (Education, p. 13).
