Our Mission and History
Mission Statement
The Piqua Seventh-day Adventist Christian School has been in existence since September, 1976. Our Christian education is based upon the scriptures.
The primary aim of Seventh-day Adventist education is to provide opportunity for students to accept Christ as their Savior, to allow the Holy Spirit to transform their lives, and to fulfill the commission of preaching the gospel to all the world.
We believe each student is unique and will be educated to accept service as a way of life, to be sensitive to the needs of people in the home and society.

Philosophy Statement
The principles of Seventh-day Adventist education are founded upon God's Word. Christian education is grounded on the principle of God as Creator and human begins as the masterpiece of His creation, possessing minds, capable of grasping spiritual and intellectual truths. Adventist education provides an atmosphere of learning that is conductive to the optimum development of the complete student.
Seventh-day Adventist education place high estimate on the infinite worth of every individual and seeks to provide a climate in which a positive self-image may be developed. A knowledge and acceptance of God's plan for our redemption is of first importance in the school experience. Students are given opportunities to accept Jesus as their personal Savior.

School History
The original Piqua Seventh-day Adventist Christian School first opened in September 1976, as a one room school inside the Piqua Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Lillian Reicher bequeathed 20 acres to the Piqua SDA Church in October 1992. The land was sold with the assistance of Pastor Dave Hutman and invested until a decision could be reached regarding the best use of the funds.
Groundbreaking for our current school building occurred on March 26, 2001. Our motto while building the school: Buildings do not educate children, nor bring people to Jesus. However, every mechanic and cook knows the advantage of working with good tools. Our new building is designed to be a tool for education and evangelism.
Twenty-five years after the school was founded the students gathered in the new facility and gave God the glory for providing and sustaining our education ministry. Today, we continue to give God glory for continuing our mission to the present day.
Our school's focus remains to equip the children of our community with the knowledge and love of Jesus. Christ. We embrace Biblical truth which informs and grounds our mission; that the love of Jesus impacts both character and lifestyle and is subsequently shared with others in benefits to the wider community.
