About COllege Drive Christian School

The Mission of College Drive Christian School is to provide a Christ-centered education that promotes a life of learning, nurtures a love for God, and fosters service to other.

Our vision at College Drive Christian School is to provide sound, Christ-centered, uniquely Seventh-day Adventist education in which the student is taught to cherish the practical teachings of the Bible, maintaining at the same time a high degree of academic excellence. It is our desire that every member of the College Drive Seventh-day Adventist Church should be involved in the education of our youth, who are the future of the church, that they should support it not only with their prayers, but also with their financial means.

• We Value God - Seventh-day Adventist education provides more than a preparation to meet the challenges of life on this earth but prepares students for a life of Christian discipleship with God as their guide and heaven as their goal.
• We Value Learning - We strive to provide students with an excellent learning environment where Christian principles are both taught and modeled using holistic, research-based instructional techniques and Bible based curriculum
• We Value Students - We believe that true education not only focuses on success in academics but incorporates the needs of the whole child: mental, physical, social and spiritual.
• We Value Family and Community – We understand that education goes far beyond the confines of the classroom but involves a cooperative effort between the home, church, and school. Facilitating students to become life-long learners, as well as morally responsible citizens who love God and value service is our utmost goal.
