than the highest human thought can reach.”

Why CognitiveGenesis?
The information collected will provide an empirical data bank that will answer the following questions:
- How well are students doing academically?
- Are there unique, identifiable qualities that are related to Seventh-day Adventist academics and, if so, what are they?
- How do Seventh-day Adventist students compare in academic performance to their counterparts in public and private schools?
- What needs to be improved in order to provide the best possible education for our young people?
What are the Benefits?
- Valid, reliable data to explore what factors could be related to the strengths and weaknesses of Adventist education
- Reshaping of curricula and teaching strategies based on findings to further enhance student learning
- New marketing and recruiting strategies promoting Adventist education
Valuegenesis I and II examined the faith maturity and loyalty of Adventist elementary and secondary students to Adventism and Christian faith. In contrast, CognitiveGenesis will focus on factors that are related to the academic quality of Adventist K-12 education. Together, these two major studies will provide valuable insights into two of the three components of the Adventist education triad – “the spiritual, mental, and physical.”
When youth and parents see that Adventist education delivers both spiritually and academically, there may be a growing group of young people who will choose to be part of Adventist education and as a result participate in the life of the church.
