Academics

Adventist Education offers more than academic knowledge. It promotes a balanced development of the whole child – spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. An education in which time dimensions span eternity.
Academics at HMS follow our Mission statement.
Know
To journey toward academic excellence
To nurture thinkers, rather than mere reflectors of other’s thoughts
To encourage a relationship with Jesus, the source of all that is true, good and beautiful
Grow
To seek a life of faith in God
To respect the dignity of all human beings
To build character like our Creator through daily inclusion of our CHERISH core values
Go
To promote loving service rather than selfish ambition
To reach our community
To make real-life connections to learn


As we continue to provide a safe academic environment, teachers are exploring ways to give authentic learning experiences and help students self-navigate to become better learners. We believe that education must provide purpose, joy, and the opportunity to serve others.
“For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.” Ecclesiastes 7:12 ESV
