My Fellow Believers,
“Higher than the highest human thought can reach is God's ideal for His children. Godliness—godlikeness—is the goal to be reached. Before the student there is opened a path of continual progress.” – Ellen White

Adventist Christian Education 

Our Mission for education is “To provide Adventist Education that seeks to prepare students to be thinkers rather than mere reflectors of others’ thoughts, thus developing their highest potential spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially, for productive service in this world, and the world to come.”

Consequently, we consistently and increasingly invest financial resources in developing the infrastructure of our five schools, Hagley Park Preparatory, Kingsway High/Pre-Kinder Preparatory, Miramar Kinder Preparatory, New Hope Preparatory, and Woodford Preparatory, and added human resources where necessary toward a rounded delivery of the schools’ curricula.

Our members are encouraged, and all our workers are required, to send their children to our schools.

At our schools:

1. Academic subjects are integrated with biblical truths.
2. Teachers are positive role models.
3. Parents and families are highly involved in their children’s education.
4. The learning environment is positive.
5. Character development is essentially fostered. 
6. Academic standards are high.

Let us place our children, our schools, our teachers and staff before the Lord in prayer as the new school year begins. Happy Sabbath!

Meric Dale Walker
