Our School
Foundation
Adventist Education
High Standards
Our philosophy of education is Christ-centered. We believe that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the entire universe. We believe that, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God’s character and purposes can be understood as revealed in the Bible, in Jesus Christ, and in nature. We believe that the distinctive characteristics of Adventist Education derived from the Bible and writings of Ellen G. White – point to the redemptive aim of true education; to restore human beings into the image of their Maker.

Adventist Education
We believe that Adventist education imparts more than academic knowledge. It seeks to develop a life of faith in God and respect for the dignity of all human beings; to build character akin to that of the Creator; to nurture thinkers rather than mere reflectors of others’ thoughts; to promote loving service rather than selfish ambition; to ensure maximum development of each individual’s potential; and to embrace all that is true, good, and beautiful. We promote a balanced lifestyle that encourages healthy eating habits, interpersonal relations, and athletic competition.
History
Rich Roots for Christian Education
In 1959, Seventh-day Adventist churches in Attleboro, Middleboro, and Taunton Massachusetts and Providence and Pawtucket, Rhode Island realized the need of a more efficient, comprehensive, and enlarged program for the youth of their membership. 12.9 acres of choice land were purchased for a high school.
A contest was held having students from the three consolidated schools submit names and a committee voted the winner. Because of all the cedar trees on the property and the brook running alongside, student Sharon Costa coined the name that has represented our school so well throughout the years.
School doors opened on September 20, 1961, with 148 students, six teachers and a principal. Classrooms consisted of four walls but no chalkboard, coat racks, cupboards, or heat: just desks, chairs, and books.
Since that time the school has withstood many changes. However, throughout our history we remain committed to educating our youth for eternity.
