4 Gleaner • June 2009 Whether an Adventist school is big or small, its students achieve at above average levels.

It doesn’t matter how many students there are, or the number of grades per teacher— or even how many grades are in one classroom together. Children in Adventist schools achieve at the same high level—an average of half a grade above predicted in all subjects. This is according to CognitiveGenesis (www.cognitivegenesis.org), a 4-year study conducted at La Sierra University of 30,000 students, grades 3–9 and 11, enrolled in Adventist schools across North America. This rigorous research is validating what parents, teachers, and students involved in Adventist education have known for years—overall, Adventist school students perform better than the national average. adventisteducation.org rd percentile3 th 7Average 4percentile achievement of 6Average achievement an 8th-grader th of an Adventist after all 7 percentile7 school 8th-grader previous years 5Average achievement after 3–6 years of at an Adventist school th of an 8th-grader enrollment 50percentile after just 1–2 years average achievement at an Adventist of an 8th-grader school just starting at an Adventist school

When researchers studied half a million people for 10 years to find out what effect eating red meat had on a person’s life span, they learned the more red meat a person ate, the higher the risk of an early death.

In the Archives of Internal Medicine study,* sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, people who ate the most red meat (about 4 to 5 ounces a day) were at least 30 percent more likely to die early compared to those who ate the least red meat.
