Oakview’s Mission Statement
The mission of the Oakview Preparatory School of Seventh-Day Adventists is to provide a Bible-based, quality education that will facilitate the spiritual, moral, mental, social and physical growth of each student. Working with the home and the church, it is the purpose of this school to cultivate in each student the ability to function as an independent, critical thinker, able to analyze situations, make responsible decisions, and to use his/her God-given abilities in a multicultural society to serve God and man.
EDUCATION
Along with a basic commitment to the academic framework necessary for the development of literate, articulate students, we are primarily dedicated to the task of restoring the three forgotten “Rs”: REVERENCE for God and life, RESPECT for self and others and the dignity of work, and RESPONSIBILITY – the realization that rights come with a duty to carry out one’s responsibilities and service to humankind, hence good citizenship.
