ADVENTIST EDUCATION.
REIMAGINED.
We build leadership, culture, and systems that expand what Adventist education can be.
ABOUT THE MODEL SYSTEM
The Model System serves as the Education Department for the Southwest Region Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. This innovative approach to operating a Conference school system is a collaborative initiative between the Southwest Region Conference and the Bainum Family Foundation.
Together, we are designing a model of Adventist education that strengthens schools, supports educators, and prepares students for lives of purpose and service.
& Staff
Ambitious enough to shape the future.
HOW THE MODEL SYSTEM WORKS
When mission, leadership, and learning are intentionally aligned, schools thrive. To ensure that alignment, our schools operate through the COMPASS Framework. These strategic commitments shape our culture, guide our learning, and influence how we live and work together every day.

How We Are Building the Future of Adventist Education
We are intentionally bringing together teams of mission-driven educators who bring energy, innovation, and passion to the work of transforming student learning. Partners in the Model System know they each play a vital role in shaping our schools and are working to create something meaningful.
We believe that education should be a transformational experience — both a joyful adventure and a courage-building process. This means our schools must be intentionally improving the quality of their program to deliver a student experience that changes lives.
We are establishing simple, powerful, and scalable systems that run smoothly across schools, reduce administrative burden, and free staff to focus on students. With our robust focus on centralized management and individual development, we are creating a model that will demonstrate long-term sustainability and growth.
