Educating the Whole Person
Adventist educators believe in educating the "whole person" through solid academics, physical development, and spiritual growth. Adventist education is committed to investing in the future of children through providing a safe learning environment, innovative curriculum, modern facilities, professional development support for teachers, and quality measurement processes.
The Seventh-day Adventist education system is the the largest of any Protestant denomination with 65,700 committed Christian teachers in 6,700 schools with 1.25 million students worldwide. Within this network of accredited schools, Washington Conference of Seventh-day Adventists offers 22 learning communities throughout western Washington.
