Mission Statement
Parkersburg Academy's mission is to offer the highest quality training to the children of Parkersburg and vicinity through sound curriculum, life experiences, Christian morals, and a focus on Jesus.
Our Philosophy
The Parkersburg Academy 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:
Whether an Adventist school is big or small, children can achieve on a higher level there.
It doesn't matter how large or small the school is. It doesn't matter how many students there are, or the number of grades per teacher—or even how many grades are in one classroom together. Children achieve at the same high level—an average of half a grade above predicted in all subjects.
This is according to CognitiveGenesis, a 4-year study conducted at La Sierra University following 50,000 students, grades 3–9 and 11, enrolled in Adventist schools across the United States.
