OAKVIEW’S MISSION & PHILOSOPHY

We believe that “true education means more than the pursuit of a certain course of study. It means more than 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, mental and spiritual powers. It prepares the students for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of service in the world to come.” Education p.13

MISSION STATEMENTS AND PHILOSOPHY NORTH AMERICAN DIVISION OF S.D.A.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America operates a system of elementary and secondary education that began in 1872.

The church’s unique philosophy of Christian Education is based primarily on the scriptures and secondarily on the prophetic writings of Ellen G. White. The S.D.A. Church believes that all children and youth have been entrusted to the church and its education system for spiritual, mental, physical and social growth and development.

The primary aim of Seventh-day Adventist education is to provide opportunity for students to accept Christ as their personal Savior, to allow the Holy Spirit to transform their lives, and to fulfill the commission of preaching the gospel to the entire world.
