Education
Recognizing that God is the source of true knowledge, the objective of this department is to provide education as a means to restore humans into the image of God. The philosophy of Adventist education is Christ-centered and unique for it draws inspiration from the Bible and writings of Ellen G. White. It prepares students not only to be responsible citizens of this world but in that heavenly kingdom.
Statement of Purpose
The Education Department of the North Philippine Union Conference exists to make disciples for Jesus Christ of all students, peoples, communicating the everlasting gospel in the context of the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6-12, and to prepare people for Christ’s soon return.
Philosophy
North Philippine Union Conference Education Department fully subscribes to the general philosophy of Adventist Education articulated in the Southern Asia Pacific Division Working Policy Book II-Education, namely:
The Seventh-day Adventist philosophy of education is Christ-centered. Adventists believe that, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God’s character and purposes can be understood as revealed in the Bible, in Jesus Christ, and in nature. The distinctive characteristics of Adventist education–derived from the Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White–point to the redemptive aim of true education: to restore human beings into the image of their Maker.
Seventh-day Adventists believe that God is infinitely loving, wise, and powerful. He relates to human beings on a personal level, presenting His character as the ultimate norm for human conduct and His grace as the means of restoration.
Adventists recognize, however, that human motives, thinking, and behavior have fallen short of God’s ideal. Education in its broadest sense is a means of restoring human beings to their original relationship with God. Working together, homes, schools, and churches cooperate with divine agencies in preparing learners for responsible citizenship in this world and in the world-to-come.
Adventist education imparts more than academic knowledge. It fosters a balanced development of the whole person-spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. Its time dimension span eternity. It seeks to develop a life of faith in God and respect for the dignity of all human beings; to build character akin to that of the Creator; to nurture thinkers rather than mere reflectors of others’ thoughts; to promote loving service rather than selfish ambition; to ensure maximum development of each individual’s potential; and to embrace all that is true, good, and beautiful.
Aim & Mission
“Adventist education prepares people for useful and joy-filled lives, fostering friendships with God, whole person development, Bible-based values, and selfless service in accordance with the Seventh-day Adventist mission to the world.
Vision
Strongly founded and highly regarded education that is implemented in the most effective way, ready to cope with the changing time and available for all Adventist children.
