The World’s Largest Protestant School System
Our school belongs to the largest protestant Christian educational system in the world. The Seventh-day Adventist school system operates 8,200 educational institutions in more than 100 countries with 2 million students worldwide. In North America, that includes more than 1,000 schools with 65,000 students in the United States, Canada, and Bermuda.
Students in Adventist schools outperform. In a three-year study of 51,000+ students in Adventist schools (kindergarten through high school), researchers documented that they outperformed the national average. At all grade levels. In schools of all sizes. And in all subjects.
Students in Adventist schools overachieve. Additionally, researchers compared student performance on standardized tests with what would be predicted based on their Cognitive Abilities Test scores, and found they performed above what would be predicted.
Students in Adventist schools gain even more with time. One of the most dramatic findings is that students who transferred to Adventist schools saw a marked improvement in test scores. Furthermore, the longer students are in Adventist schools, the better their achievements and abilities.
