Realizing the redemptive aim of Adventist education, to instill hope and wholeness in students’ lives and learning.

We provide opportunities for students to accept Christ as their Savior, allow the Holy Spirit to transform their lives, and fulfill the commission of preaching the gospel. Through our network of schools, colleges, and universities, we develop curriculum, implement technology services, and produce marketing materials. Our holistic approach to education shapes students academically, spiritually, and socially for lives of service and leadership.
