Columbus Seventh-day Adventist Christian School
The Columbus Seventh-day Adventist Christian School was founded in 2006 to provide the students
of the Columbus community an opportunity to attend a conservative Christian School. It is operated
by the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Columbus under the authority of the Kansas-Nebraska Conference
of Seventh-day Adventists. It is part of the world wide Seventh-day Adventist School System, the
largest Protestant school system.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the Columbus Seventh-day Adventist Christian School is based on the belief that all true
wisdom and knowledge come from God and that the very foundation of true education is the fear of the Lord.
The highest education is found in the Word of the Living God, and a correct knowledge of the Scriptures lies
at the foundation of all true education. The precepts and principles of religion are the first steps in the
acquisition of knowledge. Education must include the communion of the mind of man with the mind of God. This
communication should lead to the acceptance, in sentiment and principles, of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The principles of Education given by Jesus are the only safe guide. When the great truths of God’s word are
believed, received and carried into the life practice, education of the highest order results. True education
is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental and the spiritual powers. It embraces physical,
mental and moral training in order that all the powers shall be fitted for the best development to do service
for God and to work for the uplifting of humanity. Education comprises more than a knowledge of books, and will
be of little value if there is no physical strength to use it after it is gained. Knowledge of labor for
practical life is essential. Heart education is most important. Moral, intellectual and physical training should
be combined to have well-developed, well-balanced boys and girls, young men and women. The curriculum supports
and includes the doctrines of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which are based on the Bible.
