About Adventist Education

Preparing young people for success in the 21st century and beyond—this is the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist educational system. Since 1872, we’ve practiced “whole person” education—teaching young people not only to excel academically, but to develop healthy bodies and thriving spiritual lives. Our teachers and administrators in the North American Division are dedicated to the success of over 55,000 students in nearly 1,000 Adventist K–12 schools and 15 colleges and universities in Bermuda, Canada, and the United States. Student achievement is above the national average for students who attend Seventh-day Adventist Schools in North America.
