FLCOE in Summary

We do things a bit differently, and that's the way we like it

The Florida Conference Office of Education is a private school district in the state of Florida with 30 schools with over 4000 students. With our early childhood centers, we provide accredited education from birth through twelfth grade.

We value every child as a unique individual, created in the image of God with distinctive gifts, talents, and abilities. As Seventh-day Adventist educators, it is our belief that the work of true education is to equip students to think and to act with the breadth of mind, clearness of thought, and the courage of their convictions. We believe that each child has a special purpose for being placed on this earth. With this in mind, we seek to provide every opportunity for the spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth of every student and teacher entrusted to our care. It is our fervent prayer and aim to see and discover infinite possibilities in our students–inspiring them to love learning, respect others, and develop a character in the likeness of the Creator.
