Philosophy

The primary objective of education at Pocono Adventist Christian School is to restore the image of God in man by promoting the harmonious development of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual life of each child (Luke 2:52). We believe that it is our duty to provide our students with an environment that will:

• Help to facilitate the development of Christian character.
• Create in them a thirst for true knowledge.
• Educate them for service to God, their church, their country, and their fellow men.
• Help them to develop a personal relationship with Christ and an understanding of the doctrines and mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
• Facilitate the development of critical thinking skills that lead them to be “thinkers and not mere reflectors of other men’s thoughts.” Education p. 17
• Awaken them to the realization that their bodies are the temple of God and as such should be treated with the utmost respect.
• Promote academic excellence
• Provide a foundation on which they can build strong moral characters.
• Lead them to them to a life of service to God, their church, their country, and their fellow men.
