Mission Statement
The Detroit Lakes Adventist Christian School family exists to show children Jesus, nurture their love for Him and others, teach them to think, and empower them to serve.
"Finding Happiness in Learning, Serving, Loving, Knowing, & Obeying God!"
Our Philosophy
The Detroit Lakes Adventist Christian School is operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church to provide a spiritually oriented education for children. A belief in the existence of the Creator God is fundamental in the philosophy of Seventh-day Adventist schools. We respect His divine authority and recognize His intervention in human affairs. We believe that true education develops the spiritual, mental, and physical powers of each student; preparing them for the joy of service in this life and for the higher joy of service in the life to come.
To achieve this goal, we encourage each student to:
- develop a personal relationship with God and his fellow men as stated in Matthew 2:37-39
- master the basic academic skills
- value labor, physical and mental, as well as developing a healthy lifestyle
- develope skills for service
- cultivate physical fitness, mental ability, moral purity, and a sense of wonder as the blessings God intended.
The Detroit Lakes Adventist Christian School is operated with guidance and direction from the Office of Education, North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
