Mission

Mission Statement

The mission of Adventist Christian School is to empower the young people in the Greeley community for excellence in holistic Christ-centered service.  A holistic education focuses on mental, spiritual, physical, and social growth.  This educational program is a cooperative endeavor of the school, home, and church.  The primary function of Adventist Christian School is to help young people find a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.  No religious affiliation is required of any student upon entering Adventist Christian School.  Any boy or girl who desires a character-building education, upholds the school’s standards and requirements, and complies with the school’s regulations, will be admitted.

 

The primary purpose of our school is to prepare young people to:

  • Obtain the knowledge and skills to succeed at the secondary level of their education.
  • Think creatively and not merely reflect the thoughts of others.
  • Function effectively as Christians by being committed to service in a secular world.
  • Develop attitudes of love and respect toward the Bible as the inspired Word of God.

In support of this purpose our teachers and staff are committed to:

  • Creating a positive, caring environment where Christian love and virtue are taught by instruction and example. 
  • Providing a climate for young people characterized by quality instruction, high expectations, and a respect for academic excellence. 
  • Integrating Bible principles and values throughout the curriculum and providing regular opportunities for Christian service.
  • Respecting young people as unique individuals and challenging each child spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially.
  • Assisting young people in accepting responsibility for their own learning and actions.
  • Promoting a stimulating environment for the development of curious, joyful, lifelong learners.
  • Maintaining close contact with parents, area churches, and the community.
