Our Philosophy

Port Charlotte Adventist School exists primarily to instill in its students the message of Christ. We desire to develop in our youth the character of God, leading each student to a closer personal connection with Christ, a better knowledge of God’s word, a desire to share and act upon knowledge received, excellence in intellectual attainment, social ease, and respect and care of the body. All of this will prepare for this life and for eternity.

True education means more than the pursual of a certain course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come. Education, p. 13.
