Student Handbook

Page 1

Dear Students and Parents, We start with the powerful presupposition from a founder of the Adventist movement: that every human being is created in the image of God, and each is endowed with a power like God –individuality, the power to think and to act. To carry out this vision is Rio Lindo Adventist Academy’s mission. Our boarding school is driven to educate the whole person. We believe learning takes place not only in the classroom, but also in dorm rooms, at spiritual activities, in social interaction, and even it quiet solitude. We desire that young people grow as a whole person; heart, head and hand. We want them to be ready for the life beyond high school, and the life beyond this present age. To help students successfully navigate the Rio Lindo experience, we have developed this handbook of guidelines. As you read through the handbook, you will find many items discussed that are for your safety and peace of mind. Some items will guide students in the proper respect shown to our Creator in worship as understood by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Others are included to help students succeed socially and academically. There will be situations and circumstances that are not specifically addressed in the following pages, but every effort will be made to meet the needs of each student as well as the community as a whole. Choosing the school you will attend for your high school years is an important decision that requires much thought and prayer. We pray that God will lead you to the school in which you will be most successful. Thank you for considering Rio Lindo Adventist Academy. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely,

Lyle Bennett Vice-Principal
