The Adventist Encounter Curriculum is a seamless curriculum that is intentional about exploring big-picture, spiritual concepts with the goal of making a difference for eternity. This curriculum uses the four walls of the classroom to help build a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ, using the Bible as the source of truth. Through rigorous pedagogical practice and 21st century learning strategies,it explores and develops personal reasons for faith, lifestyle choices, and ethical decision-making from an Adventist worldview, all the while nurturing interpersonal relationships and service to others. A life-long relationship with Jesus Christ that transforms our teachers and students lives is the goal.

Secondary teacher, Peter Lindsay, at Avondale High School, shares, “After having taught Encounter for four or five years now since we started trialing the initial units, I came to the conclusion that I really should be praying quite specifically for the Holy Spirit to be present in the classroom as we present to the students on a daily basis. To my shame, I must admit I hadn't been praying that for every day before. I think there is danger for Bible teachers to perhaps think that in their classes at some stage they will say something so profound that the students will be moved to want to accept Jesus as their Saviour. I came to the conclusion that that is not the way it is. It is the Holy Spirit who moves on students' hearts, not what I say. As such I figured that I need to be praying for the Holy Spirit to specifically flood the classroom each day and that all evil angels will be forced to flee so that only God’s angels can be present to also encourage students.”
