PHILOSOPHY As Seventh-day Adventist Christians, we at San Diego recognize God as the Creator, the Sustainer of life, and the Source of knowledge and wisdom. We believe that man’s capacity for thought, decision-making, and action are attributes which God bestowed when He made man in His own image. As a school, we consider the education of our students to be our primary function and accept the challenge of developing the minds of our students so that they may respond to the highest human calling, living a life with Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that because of the effects of sin, truth cannot be discerned by human reason alone. Rather, God has revealed Himself to us through the Holy Scriptures, nature, history, and the Spirit of Prophecy. We hold these to be the sources which reveal the truth about God’s character, His plan of redemption, and the kind of people we may become as we grow into Christ’s likeness. San Diego seeks to educate the whole person, spiritually, intellectually, socially, and physically in accordance with the standards which identify God as the source of moral value and truth. Academy We believe that the entire church community should aid the school in its effort to educate our students. The home, the church, and the work place each exercise a unique function in the students’ experience and contribute to the balance we endeavor to achieve. We place a high value on each individual, recognize the diversity of experience present in our community, and seek to provide a climate where diversity is encouraged and a positive image is developed. MISSION As a Seventh-day Adventist Christian K-12 college preparatory school, we provide a balanced program that prepares our diverse student population to become individuals who are spiritually whole, academically adept, socially skilled, and physically fit. So we continue to preach Christ to all men.  We use all wisdom to warn and to teach everyone.  We are trying to bring each one into God’s presence as a mature person in Christ.  To do this, I work and struggle, using Christ’s great strength that works so powerfully in me.  Colossians 1:28-29 International Children’s Version
