Our caring staff

► Through fervent daily prayer our staff seeks God's intervention on behalf of each student.

► Our staff desires to build up each student personally through hugs, high-fives, and words of encouragement.

► Teachers go above and beyond the school day providing weekly study halls offering individualized instruction, time to make up tests and assignments, and a quiet, low-stress environment to learn.

► Teachers regularly pursue new methods to help students learn -- tips for test-taking anxiety, retention techniques, differentiated learning styles, focusing skills, and training in preparation for evaluations.

 


Our outstanding academics & electives

► Standardized testing shows two things:

       •  As a group our students increase substantially more than one grade level each year.
       •  The more years a student attends our school the more their academic increase grows

exponentially.

A message from our Conference President:

Our children are a precious gift. We are entrusted with their care, their well-being on all levels, and helping to prepare them for the future. An important part of what we provide for our children is a solid education that prepares them not only for life here and now but also for life to come. I’m thankful that the Orangevale Adventist School is committed to excellence and offers the best in education. Being a smaller school means that there is a great deal of personalized attention on each child. Being a values-based Christian campus means there is a positive focus on educating the heart as well as the mind. I would encourage you to dialogue with the administration and staff as you consider Orangevale Adventist School for the education needs of your family.
