Philosophy
Education at Ardmore Adventist Academy is based on the belief that each student is unique and of inestimable value, and that education involves not just learning academic subjects, but the development of the whole person. We strive to provide students with an education that will help them live successfully and productively in this life and ultimately fit them for heaven. Through spiritual, physical, academic, and social programs, we offer opportunities for our students to cultivate an experiential relationship with God, take an active role in making the community a better place, appreciate and utilize the cultural and scientific advantages of the age, and develop a personal sense of who they are and how they can contribute to the lives of others. In essence, we are equipping children for now and for eternity.
