At Gobles Jr Academy, Seventh-day Adventists believe that their students are the children of God; their teachers, servants of God. Their schools are commissioned, therefore, to follow after the mind and will of God, the knowledge of which is communicated by revelation.
Educational effort is directed toward self-understanding and full development of all the student's powers.
A true knowledge of God, fellowship and companionship with Him in study and service, and likeness to Him in character development are to be respectively the source, the means, and the aim of Seventh-day Adventist education.
Gobles Junior Academy, which is operated by the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and governed by the Gobles Junior Academy School Board, accepts this basic philosophy of education: "True education means more than the perusal of a certain course of study. It 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 existence possible to man.
