Since it began in the late 1800s, Adventist Education has grown to operate programs from early childhood through university levels, becoming the largest Protestant private school system in the world. Our graduates have become prominent thought leaders in all fields. Yet few outside of the system know who we are and what we do. Perspectives in Adventist Education is a podcast series which seeks out current voices to share how we are facing educational questions with an Adventist perspective. Recorded at the 2023 NAD Teacher’s Convention in Phoenix, Arizona.
