San Diego Academy is a private coeducational K-12 school in the Seventh-day Adventist school system. 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 )〕 As set forth in its constitution and bylaws, San Diego Academy is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of pastors and elected lay people of the constituent Seventh-day Adventist churches, parents, and alumni. The school operates under the auspices of the Southeastern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Office of Education. San Diego Academy provides Christian education for K-12 young people in the Seventh-day Adventist churches located in the greater San Diego metropolitan area. The churches represented on the Board of Trustees are constituent members of the school and support it by giving an amount equal to 10.5% of their tithe income each year. Churches encourage each child in their church to attend. Some churches give added assistance to worthy families to make it financially possible for their students to attend. ==History== San Diego Academy had its beginnings in 1899 when W. M. Healey, pastor of the Adventist church, rented a store at 17th and K Streets. Seventeen students began their Christian education with Robert Sanders and his wife serving as teachers.The school functioned as an elementary school and then a junior academy until 1930 when it became a full 12-grade school. After a series of moves, the school was located adjacent to the then-church owned Paradise Valley Hospital in 1947. Construction on the new site, just east of the old one, began in 2002. The new facility was completed and classes began in 2800 East 4th Street facility during August 2005. 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「San Diego Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
