Christian Schools
The purpose of Christian education is to
inspire young people with principles of truth, obedience, honor, integrity,
justice, and purity-principles that will make them a positive force for the
stability and uplifting of society.
|
Every effort is made to select wise
teachers who will feel responsible to God to show a special care for the
salvation of their students and to impress upon youthful minds the necessity of
knowing Christ as a personal Savior. From knowing Him, the object is to become
like Him, Christ-like in character, and truly trained to bear the great and
challenging responsibilities of life.
The Adventist School System, the largest
Protestant parochial system in the world, gives ample evidence that Seventh-day
Adventists consider Christian education central to the message and mission of
the church.

The Cicero Seventh-day Adventist Elementary
School offers a well-rounded education rooted in the teachings of the
Bible. Curriculum for grades 1-8 is taught.
Indiana Academy has been established to
provide a Christ-centered education for students in grades 9-12. It recognizes
its responsibility for the harmonious development of the spiritual, mental,
vocational, social and physical powers of each individual student. Its express
purpose is to transmit the ideals, beliefs, principles, and values of the
Scriptures and salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as understood
by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Students who live too far from the academy
have the option of boarding in dormitories.
