The Typical Course of Study varies in instances to accommodate local, provincial, or state laws and policies, does not list certain skills and content that are to be taught at all levels in one or more subjects, and cannot describe the variety and depth of courses such as art, music, and computer which are contingent upon unique school and community resources.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The curriculum stresses educating students for a life of worship, growth and service, places a high estimate on the worth of the individual student, and dictates that Seventh-day Adventist Christian values be developed in every subject at all grade levels.
