Academics - Educating heads, hands, and hearts

Seventh-day Adventist schools benefit from an accredited curriculum especially designed for both single and multigrade classrooms. The North American Division Office of Education has developed excellent, high-quality, standards-based materials for all classrooms. The curriculum is designed so each student is constantly connected with Christ and the possibilities He has for each life, while building necessary academic and emotional skills to move students through life's challenges. .

As learners become more independent, challenges and experiences should be tailored to each student's needs.
