Our Mission
The Mission of Keene Adventist Elementary School (KAES) is to be an effective instrument of God working to educate and train students to be balanced, contributing citizens who will have a transforming influence in this world and be prepared for the world to come.
Our Philosophy
KAES believes man and the universe to be the handiwork of a Divine Creator who guides and sustains all. God is considered the Source of all knowledge and wisdom, and His revealed will is the standard of right and truth. With this as its philosophical foundation, KAES endeavors to provide its students with an educational program that leads to a full commitment of their spiritual, intellectual, physical and social resources to the service of God and their fellow man.
The prime purpose for the existence of KAES is to provide a quality education in an atmosphere conducive to the total development of the student. The Christian philosophy, as taught in the classroom and which permeates all services and activities, shall preserve the distinctive personal quality of life and open to each student the development of a satisfying practical religious experience. It is the goal of KAES to prepare individuals who are maturing as Seventh-day Adventist to be productive, worthy citizens.
