Too often in the past this fact has been passively- taken for granted. Individual churches and church members have not 4 always entered into an educational program to rightly train the youth, and as -re 00 a result many are lost. Today as never before we realize the need of "rightly trained" workers, conse- Or kit crated to the task of finishing a world-wide work, preparing a people to stand in Or AAA the great day of God. There must be a strong army of youth to accomplish this. Or AAA It is our responsibility. Or AAA The first step in preparing youth for service starts in the Christian home, where Or Ov AAA God's Word is the standard and the living out of its teachings the aim of each Or AAA member of the family. , Children from such a home enter school with young 440 hearts responsive and receptive to the influence and teachings of their instructors. r How important then that it is a church school! And that their advanced education is received in a Christian college. ALA AA In this last great hour of earth's history, crises all about us challenge the in- A44AO terest and energies of our youth. Many who are not rooted and grounded in the Or faith will be undermined. The youth of the world make its history, good and Or AAA Or 44AAA4 bad. We must first make certain that we have schools, and then that our young 014 14 people attend them. The only safe school is one where religion and Christian liv- Or ing are taught, and the results should be sound bodies, disciplined minds, and Ov 144 right characters.

  • Mindanao Mission Academy
    Image not found or type unknown Mindanao Mission Academy MARIBEL L. HONOR, JESREEL MERCADER, AND MARCHIE MERCADER Maribel L. Honor Jesreel Mercader Marchie Mercader Mindanao Mission Academy (MMA) is a private secondary institution operated by the North-Central Mindanao Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Established on July 14, 1947, it is the oldest Adventist high school in the Southern Philippines, and the fifth-oldest in the entire Philippines.1 Since its founding, Mindanao Mission Academy has faithfully served the needs of Adventist education among the constituents of Northern Mindanao, especially the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Lanao Del Norte. It offers a program of study geared towards the development of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions of life in fulfillment of its philosophy, mission, and vision. It also offers a complete secondary education with specialized tracks in the senior high school curriculum, namely: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), and Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM).2 Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the school has registered an enrolment of 876 students in 2020, the highest enrolment in history.3 Developments that Led to the Establishment of the School On July 1, 1946, the Mindanao Mission opened an elementary school called the Mindanao Central School at Cagayan de Oro. Because of this large enrolment, mission officials voted on May 25, 1947, to establish an academy in the Mindanao Mission and the present 20-hectare lot along the national highway of Poblacion Manticao, Misamis Oriental, Philippines, was purchased.4 The site was acquired through the untiring efforts of the administrative committee of the then-Mindanao Mission (which later became South Philippine Union Conference) under the leadership of the late Pastor Apolonio Somoso, the president of Mindanao Mission and also chairman of the Academy board.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.
