  • 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.

  • San Yu Adventist School
    Image not found or type unknown San Yu Adventist School RUTH CHENG CHAY CHOO Ruth Cheng Chay Choo, B.B.A. (National University of Singapore), is a web content developer and has been a member of the board of management of San Yu Adventist School since 2011. She was a journalist with Business Times, Singapore, and a financial analyst and contracts administrator with Esso Singapore Private Limited. San Yu Adventist School is currently the only Adventist school in Singapore that offers primary and secondary education with government examinations. San Yu High School In 1957, a faithful and generous couple who were members of the Seventh-day Adventist Chinese Church in Singapore – Thomson Chinese Church (TCC) – donated a piece of land to build a new church for the Chinese- speaking congregation in Singapore with the intent of also using the site as a school for the Chinese-speaking population. This donation of land at 297 Thomson Road was the largest donation made by an individual in the Far Eastern Division – the land and building’s combined value was estimated at $300,000 SGD. The Lord sees fit to inspire individuals to sacrifice talent, time, and treasure in order to enable Christian Adventist education to take root. This education has stoutly served the Singapore nation and the region beyond by training students to serve their community and preparing them for the kingdom of God through “caring, quality Christian education.” After TCC began its worship services in the new church in 1957, the church board decided to utilize the basement rooms for a coeducational school.
