School Notes:

The global Seventh-day Adventist educational system includes 6,700 schools, colleges and universities, with approximately 66,000 teachers and 1,257,000 students.
Our schools are systematically evaluated and accredited.
Experienced teachers are certified and hold teaching credentials.
The IOWA Basic Skills Examination is administered to all students annually. Gettysburg students rank above the nation in all areas. We averaged at the 74 percentile in 2004.
An amazing two-thirds of our high school graduates continue on to college!
Except for Bible-based Health and Science, Adventist schools use textbooks that are typically used in state of the art public schools.
The school is operating in a new modern facility built in 2000.
The school is located on a wooded 14 acres in a rural setting. A nature/fitness trail was made in the summer of 2005.
Numerous opportunities are made available for students to serve the community throughout the year.
Handchimes, guitar, voice, band, piano, and recorder lessons are offered.
The school maintains up-to-date computer technology (XP Windows with Professional Office) with a 2:1 ratio.
The library is outstanding, well-maintained offering a wide-range of media.
There is a strong PTO (Home & School Association). Monthly meetings are interesting and informative.
Gettysburg, like all Adventist schools, is made available to people of other faiths who desire their children to learn in a safe and sound Christian-like environment.
