ADVENTIST PHILOSOPHY

The Seventh-day Adventist view of education is founded on a Biblical world view which proposes a transcendent, self-existent God who is loving and just by nature and infinite in power. He created the universe and sustains it by His laws. As the climax of Creation, God created humans perfect, male and female, in close relationship with Him, with the capacity for reflection, emotion, creativity, sociability and freedom to choose and act.

The South Pacific Division of Seventh –day Adventists accepts in its entirety the Seventh-day Adventist Philosophy of Education as detailed in the Working Policy of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (FE05) to which the reader is referred for an expanded expression of this abbreviated statement.
