Other fine arts activities, such as drama, classical music performances, help to refine our students character-building students.
Our Philosophy
St. Croix Seventh-day Adventist School prides itself as one of the few distinguished private schools with an open enrollment practice. This practice reaffirms our policy which states that “education should be redemptive in nature, for the purpose of restoring human beings to the image of God.” Hence, we believe that all children; despite their background, nationality, socioeconomic status, race or religion deserve such an opportunity. We have served the general community for several years, encompassing a very rich and diverse student population.
St. Croix Seventh-day Adventist School has the proven track record of graduating well-balanced citizens whose impact and contributions are felt across our community and throughout the United States. We take pride in addressing the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs of each child. This approach has afforded us the privilege of building an impressive alumni association of distinguished members to be found worldwide. Since our first graduation of twelfth grade students in 1977 our school has produced numerous Medical doctors, attorneys, engineers, entrepreneurs, community leaders, nurses and other medical professionals. The list of professionals holding various advanced degrees which were nurtured here, are too numerous to mention.
