Education Making a Difference
Maranatha Adventist School is a Christian school that provides an education for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Its purpose is to train youth to know and serve God and to develop responsible citizens. “True education... is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world, and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come.” The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been operating schools for 120 years. They currently maintain elementary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities around the world.
Curriculum
Maranatha Adventist School uses textbooks from major publishers for Math, Social Studies, and English. The North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists Department of Education has developed textbooks with a Christian perspective for the subjects of Science, Bible, and Reading. Kindergarten through eighth grade are combined in one classroom. This arrangement results in a family atmosphere where students are associating with others older and younger than themselves in both the classroom and recreation. This local Maranatha Adventist School, established in Moberly MO, has graduated over 200 students since 1979. Some graduates have gone on to become nurses, doctors, engineers, mechanics, realtors, teachers and building contractors. We pride ourselves in helping raise tomorrow’s leaders. Kindergarten through eighth grade are grouped into one classroom.
