 OUR PHILOSOPHY
& VISION
Olney Adventist Preparatory School is a Kindergarten through 8th grade
Christian school located in Olney, Maryland. Our philosophy is built
on the belief that God has created each student with unique abilities
and gifts, and through His grace and strength all children can achieve.
It is our purpose to help children discover God’s will for their
life, to develop and improve their abilities,  and
to awaken the spirit of service by following Christ’s example.
It is our vision to holistically educate our children in mind, body,
and spirit.
| "True education
means more than the pursual of a certain course of study.
It means more than a preparation for the life that now is.
It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period
of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development
of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It
prepares the students for the joy of service in this world
and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come."
-
Ellen G. White

Our rigorous academic program is Christ-centered and biblically-based.
An enriched curriculum relevant to life skills, complimented by small
class sizes and individualized instruction, is the teaching standard
to which we hold ourselves accountable. Subjects are taught in a
unique and intellectually challenging way that prepares and encourages
our students to learn, think, speak, and act with confidence and
skill.
It is our priority to assist students in developing a personal relationship
with Christ and values grounded in Scripture. Dignity, grace, respect,
integrity, service, responsible citizenship, personal discipline and
leadership are developed through instruction and modeled in the behavior
of the school community. Students are challenged to excellence and
their full personal capacity. Our school motto, “Above and Beyond,”
is used to address students, staff, and families that have exceeded
our expectations in application, extension, and creativity in any
task or action.
| "We
go above and beyond in treating children as individuals
academically, spiritually, socially, and physically." |
