Education for the LAST DAYS Margie Seeley

Seventh-day Adventism was founded in 1863, with Ellen G. White being a key figure in its formation. While the denomination was established in 1863, the first Seventh-day Adventist denominational school was founded in 1872. This initial school evolved into what is now Andrews University.
Ellen White's teachings had a significant impact on the development of the Adventist educational system. She advocated for a holistic approach to education, encompassing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person. She also emphasized the importance of Christian education in preparing students for a life of service to God and humanity. She envisioned education as a work closely linked to redemption and saw the establishment of schools as a means to help individuals develop a relationship with God.

In 1872, several significant developments in education occurred, particularly in Scotland and the United States. The Education (Scotland) Act of 1872 established a national system of state-funded schools, transferring control from local churches and creating local school boards. In the US, the Neosho Colored School was established in Missouri to serve Black students, marking a step in the broader struggle for educational access for African Americans.
