“In the highest sense, the work of education and the work of redemption are one, for in education, as in redemption, other foundation can no man lay than is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (Ellen G. White: Education, Pacific Press, 1952, p.30) To bring man back into harmony with God, so to elevate and ennoble his moral nature that he may reflect the image of the Creator, is the great purpose of all the education and discipline of life. “True education 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 experience possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come.” (Ellen G. White: Education, Pacific Press, 1952, p. 13)
