School  Goals

While primarily operated for the children of the Deltona Seventh-day Adventist Church, the school offers admission to those who desire a Christian education and agree to abide by the policies stated in the school handbook.

  • To help students realize their God-given potential and become the persons God has called them to be.

  • To lead students to a personal relationship with a loving God by accepting Christ as their Savior and  the Bible as the Word of God.

  • To prepare students for a life of unselfish service to God and to their fellow man.

  • To provide a program beginning with early childhood education that provides authentic learning experiences through a Christ-centered curriculum.

  • To develop high academic standards which include learning good study habits, and how to become accurate, responsible, and independent thinkers.

  • To promote the understanding and practice of a healthy Christian lifestyle.

  • To develop a caring atmosphere where the rights, property, and interests of each person is respected.

Frequently  Asked  Questions

Accreditation:   Deltona Adventist School has met on-going evaluation standards and is accredited by the Education Departments of:

               Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventist

               Southern  Union  Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

               National Council of Private School Accreditation

Teacher Certification:   All of our Teachers have  a  Master's or Bachelor's Degree in Education and hold current certification.

Curriculum:   Curriculum standards are set and governed by the Seventh-day Adventist system of education.  Bible is taught as part of the curriculum at each grade level.

Standardized Testing:   Students in Grades 3-8 are formally tested once each school year by the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills.  We are not given the FCAT.

Multiage Grouping:   Since we are a small school, we use multiage grouping strategies in our classrooms.   This allows us to individualize materials for students regardless of grade level.  Most students benefit by remaining with the same teacher for more than one year and by being exposed to higher level materials and review materials throughout their studies.

Uniforms:   There is a basic uniform for all students.  Details are available in our school handbook.

Music, PE, and Art:   These are required subjects of one hour each per week and are usually taught by the classroom teacher.   Individual Piano lessons are available.

Student  Success  Rate:   Over one-third of our graduates over the last three years have been accepted into Honors and High Honors Programs as they go onto further education levels.
