Thanks to the generosity of a planned gift through the Northern California Conference, two transformative projects are making a lasting difference for students and schools across the conference—strengthening campuses, expanding meaningful opportunities, and investing in young people as they grow, learn, and prepare for lives of purpose.
One project expanded a multi-campus hybrid school. Sacramento Adventist Academy and El Dorado Adventist School partnered to pilot a hybrid learning model. Sacramento Academy offered its Algebra I class to eighth-grade students, while El Dorado facilitated participation across campuses. The project included remodeled classrooms, electronic tools for live broadcasts, and other technological upgrades so students could learn together, even when they weren’t in the same building.
The program successfully launched, with one class operating and five students completing Algebra I through the hybrid approach. Principals from both schools worked closely to manage the program and navigate potential issues. They are laying the groundwork for future growth.
The second project focused on improving student living spaces at Rio Lindo Academy. Seed funding allowed for the start of a dormitory room remodel, creating more welcoming spaces for boarding students. Nine dormitory rooms were renovated, providing students with a tangible improvement to their daily lives and reinforcing the school’s commitment to a supportive campus environment.
Though different in scope, both projects reflect a shared commitment to students. By improving how they learn and where they live, this support continues to strengthen the foundation of Adventist education across the conference.
