Join us in celebrating this milestone by experiencing all that Torrance has to offer and celebrating 100 things to do in our city!ġ. Today, Torrance is a diverse, growing and thriving community. The vote to incorporate passed, 355-11, and the city was formally incorporated in May, 1921. In 1921, the population of Torrance was about 1,800, and the community put the idea of incorporating Torrance as a city to a vote. Come see how this influences our students with a visit to our campus.From 1912 until 1921, Torrance was a privately held city. As we interact with each other here at school and as we practice service in our community, we are guided by Paul’s words, “Be completely humble and gentle be patient, bearing with one another in love.” (Ephesians 4:2) While we are not perfect, we are constantly aiming to be more Christ-like with each other and to serve our community. Loving and serving others is part of God’s plan for each of us and something we practice daily. To see how we integrate wise lifestyle choices into our curricula, come visit our campus. We include learning about taking care of our bodies with daily exercise, good sleep, healthy eating, and more. Making healthy choices is a way of honoring our bodies as the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and plenty of research documents the importance of healthy bodies in developing healthy brains. Furthermore, the longer students are in Adventist schools, the better their achievements and abilities are. Students in Adventist schools gain even more with time. One of the most dramatic findings is that students who transferred to Adventist schools saw a marked improvement in test scores. Students in Adventist schools overachieve. Additionally, researchers compared student performance on standardized tests with what would be predicted based on their Cognitive Abilities Test scores and found they performed above what would be predicted. Students in Adventist schools outperform. In a three-year study of 51,000+ students in Adventist schools (kindergarten through high school), researchers documented that they outperformed the national average. It is true that when we “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) To learn more about the specific results of our school, schedule an Education Success Consult with our principal. So we’ve structured our academic program to put God first and we find that, like Adventist schools of all sizes across the country, this results in students who grow academically at a higher rate than their peers in other schools (see the next paragraph). Our goal is to develop Christians with wisdom, not just knowledge. We invite you to visit our campus and experience how our teachers and staff model their love for God and nurture it in our students. And it continues through our focus on the Bible as the sole guide for our beliefs and behavior as Protestant Christians. It starts with our commitment to making Christ the center of all we do––not just the subject of a single Bible class. While spiritual growth can’t be measured and quantified with numbers, we do see it happening every day.
We exist to help students grow in their love for Jesus.
