Mountain View College (or MVC) is a private, co-educational, Seventh-day Adventist college in Valencia, Bukidnon, Philippines which was established in 1953. It has a semestral enrollment of more than 2000 students primarily from Mindanao, although there are also quite a number from Luzon and the Visayas. International enrollment from Cambodia, Canada, China, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Micronesia, Mongolia, Myanmar, South Korea, the United States, and other countries in Africa and Asia, comprises about five percent of the total student population. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.〔http://www.csmonitor.com/Commentary/Opinion/2010/1115/For-real-education-reform-take-a-cue-from-the-Adventists"the second largest Christian school system in the world has been steadily outperforming the national average – across all demographics."〕〔http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/denominations/seventh_day_adventist.htm〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://education.gc.adventist.org/about.html )〕 ==History== MVC was founded by Andrew Nathaniel Nelson in response to the growing interest in Christian education within the Philippines. A 584% increase for a six-year period in the college enrollment of Philippine Union College, where he was then president, necessitated the search for another site. Based on a nine-point criteria founded on Adventist principles and prior experience in the founding of two other educational institutions (Seattle Junior Academy in 1915 and Japan Missionary College in 1925), Dr. Nelson came upon MVC's present site. Manticao, Misamis Oriental served as MVC's temporary campus from 1949 to 1952, while the search was on for a site that met the criteria. It was then known as Philippine Union Junior College. In 1953, MVC moved to its present location and opened its doors to students from the Southern Philippines. The previous campus then became Mindanao Mission Academy. MVC's first offerings were certificates or associate degrees in business, education, and religion. It held its first graduation exercises in 1957, four years after its official opening. As of 2009, the college has 132 full-time and part-time teaching faculty members and 73 staff members in the industrial and support service departments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mountain View College (Philippines)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
