The Hong Kong Chinese Christian Churches Union (HKCCCU) is a Christian organization with a long history. HKCCCU was founded in 1915, by the concerted efforts of seven Christian churches, namely, the London Missionary Society, the Anglican Church, the Congregational Council, the Chinese Rhenish Church, the Tsung Tsin Church, the Methodist Church, and the Baptist Church. In 1948, the Union was registered as a legal organization (Hong Kong Register of Societies No.1025). At present, there are around 306 member churches and a total of more than 200,000 Christian members. Since its inception, the HKCCCU Education Committee has been providing all-around Christian education using forums and youth camps. HKCCCU has established scholarships for theological education and it publishes a weekly newsletter, “Christian Weekly,” which provides a channel for churches to express their views. On its 85th anniversary, HKCCCU created its first school to realize the teachings of the Bible and to encourage Christians to serve and be a beacon of hope for others. Logos Academy, a “through-train” school, combines both primary and secondary education. The establishment of Logos Academy expresses the Christian commitment for both the pursuit of quality life and education, as well as the fulfilling the Christian ideal of serving the community. HKCCCU will also continue to serve the people of Hong Kong through evangelistic activities, educational services, medical services, charity work, and publications. Logos Academy is founded on the Truth of the Bible and a global education perspective. It adopts the “through-train” mode of primary and secondary education, takes advantage of the flexibility of the direct-subsidy scheme, and enjoys well-equipped classrooms and buildings with high-tech learning facilities.

In addition, we work to ensure that this culture will also be shared among school board members, the principal, teachers, and staff members as well as parents. We trust that life kindles life. On this basis, Logos Academy will serve as a meeting point for talented local and overseas educators to work hand-in-hand in various positions throughout the school. We maintain a strong connection with external organizations, staying up-to-date with the latest educational and scientific research, and implement new educational theories and ideas to ensure our continued progress in the direction of excellence. We also share our practices and experiences with other schools to raise the quality of education throughout the world. The school invites parents to collaborate with management. We will set aside resources to enhance the professional growth of our teachers and to enrich their personal lives. Ongoing improvement and adjustments in the curriculum, teaching methods, and the design of learning activities, assessments, and management will help the school set the right direction to provide quality education for the community.

Nile Union Academy is a Seventh-day Adventist Christian boarding high school. We are owned and operated by the Egypt-Sudan Field Office of Seventh-day Adventist Church. We accept the Old and New Testament scriptures as our creed and we teach Jesus Christ as the savior of the world. Our educational system is patterned after the American educational system which values class attendance, participation, and performance as the base of its education. NUA adheres to a blueprint for education that was originally conceived in the Old Testament “School of the Prophets” that seeks to daily train and teach young people through instruction, activities, relationships, work, responsibility, consequences, and life experiences. All classes at NUA are taught in English except for second language classes. Our discipline style is consequence-oriented, rather than shame-based. We desire that students will not only succeed academically, but will upon graduation leave NUA with the foundation to succeed morally, socially, and spiritually in life. We believe that the integrity and honor of our head, heart, and hands must be the foundation of a life surrendered to God. NUA exists to promote God’s work in the lives of young people. Our mission is to educate young believers to use their heads, heart, and hands to God. NUA is an academic institution. One of our primary goals is to give a good education—good in the eyes of the families that sent the students to our school and to the students themselves good in the eyes of intuitions of higher learning that our students wish to attend, and good in the eyes of potential employers. The head is about cognitive function and being logical. How do they think? Are they logical people for whom a rational argument will be effective? How do they use logic? What are their goals, and how will the idea affect them? At NUA we try and help students become logical and rational using their heads. NUA is an educating community. The heart is about affective function, emotions, and feelings. Think about how you can use emotion to get your idea across. It is in the business of shaping attitudes—attitudes of students towards themselves, to their peers, to trainers and authority, to the community and nation—current and future. We teach students to be subject to the governing authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. To sincerely give to everyone what is owed, pay what is agreed, and give respect and honor to whom it is due. NUA embraces a work-study philosophy. It is not a school to just come up with academic solutions and have the attitude that is needed to achieve these solutions, but a school to help students accomplish what needs to be done. We teach students to do life chores to share the tasks of community living to reduce their family’s financial investment in their education. To develop a work ethic that embraces necessary work of every kind. These days the meaning of ‘hand’ has been expanded beyond manual labor to taking on any task that helps the survival of ourselves, our community, and our nation-- to move beyond can-do to has-done. We offer innovative teaching methods, not just the traditional teaching methods. Our teaching approach develops students' strengths and abilities to reach their potential. Our student-centered integrated thematic curriculum makes it fun and easy for students to learn. Our teaching style enhances creativity stimulates thinking, builds confidence arouse curiosity and a sense of wonder. Our team of qualified, experienced, and passionate teaching staff constantly improves, innovates, and creates an exciting learning journey for students. Their caring ways in students’ well-being and character development bring out the best in students. Though still improving Our range of facilities such as air-conditioned labs with audio-visual equipment provide a positive learning environment. Other facilities include the multi-purpose hall, covered courtyard, and playground. View full school

Union University is an heir of three antebellum Tennessee schools-West Tennessee College and its predecessor, Jackson Male Academy, located at Jackson, and Union University, located at Murfreesboro. It is the inheritor of another college in 1927, Hall-Moody Junior College of Martin, Tennessee. Jackson Male Academy, founded in 1823 shortly after the opening of West Tennessee for settlement, was chartered by the legislature in 1825. West Tennessee College originated in the mid-1840s when supporters of the Academy secured a charter for a college and received an endowment from the state to come from the sale of public lands. Under its charter, the Jackson Male Academy's property rights and governance were vested in the trustees of the College. The College offered three degrees- bachelor of arts, bachelor of philosophy, and master of arts- and had four departments: Moral Philosophy, Languages, Mathematics, and Natural Philosophy and Chemistry. West Tennessee College continued until 1874 when at a time of depressed economic conditions, the trustees offered the College's buildings, grounds, and endowment to Tennessee Baptists in the hopes of attracting the southwestern regional University planned by the state's Baptist leaders. Meanwhile, after years of discussion and raising an endowment, the Baptists of Middle Tennessee (there were three separate conventions in Tennessee at that time) in 1848 established Union University in Murfreesboro, near the geographical center of the state. Union University came upon hard times when in 1859, its highly respected president, Joseph H. Eaton, died, and when during the Civil War, its campus was severely damaged. It reopened in 1868 only to close again in 1873, mainly because of its financial condition and cholera epidemic. Southwestern Baptist University, the immediate predecessor of the present Union University, originated because of a desire by Tennessee Baptists. They still had a separate convention for each state's three Grand Divisions for greater unification. Education became the core issue around which such unification was promoted. Committees of the three conventions met jointly in Humboldt in 1873 and issued a resolution supporting establishing a first-class regional university. An Educational Convention met in Murfreesboro in 1874, at which time a committee was appointed to select a location for the proposed University. The committee recommended accepting the offer made by the citizens of Jackson to assume ownership of West Tennessee College. View full university

Since 1795, Union College has been defining—and redefining—the meaning of a liberal arts education. When the classics were considered the only acceptable field of study, Union introduced a bachelor's degree with an emphasis on history, modern languages, science, and mathematics. We were the first liberal arts college in the nation to offer to engineer. We created a new vision for campus life by establishing Minerva Houses, which bring student and faculty together outside the classroom for both social and academic activities. Union College, founded in 1795, is a scholarly community dedicated to shaping the future and understanding the past. Faculty, staff, and administrators welcome diverse and talented students into our community, work closely with them to provide a broad and deep education and guide them in finding and cultivating their passions. We do this with a wide range of disciplines and interdisciplinary programs in the liberal arts and engineering and academic, athletic, cultural, and social activities, including opportunities to study abroad and participate in undergraduate research and community service. Our students develop the analytic and reflective abilities needed to become engaged, innovative, and ethical contributors to an increasingly diverse, global, and technologically complex society. At Union, we cultivate an environment that's as conducive to studying Shakespearean sonnets or neuroscience as it is to starting a new club or organizing a fundraiser for a community in need. More than 60 percent of Union students receive financial assistance. We understand that navigating the financial aid process can be overwhelming to families. We strive to keep the process as simple as possible. If at any time you have questions, our financial aid staff is available to help you. We encourage you to become as familiar as possible with the necessary details about financial aid. This site's instructions and resources will guide you through the procedures and help clarify types of financial aid, eligibility, forms, and deadlines. For more than two centuries, Union College has been defining—and continually redefining—what it means to provide a liberal arts education. Since 1795, we've been challenging convention, blurring boundaries, and shaking up traditional thinking. Union students enrich their understanding of other countries and challenge themselves academically and personally while studying abroad. Students who participate in one or more of our programs quickly learn to thrive at the intersections—of diverse cultures and communities, of other languages and customs, of learning about others and themselves. Whether you are exploring the marine ecology of Australia, delving into art and history in France, or using the temples and tombs of ancient Greece as a living laboratory, you will likely find that overseas studies will be one of your most memorable college experiences. Choosing from among more than 160 courses, students analyze the American experience's diverse character, shaped by gender, race, class, geography, and ethnicity. These experiences are studied within a context of global economic, cultural, and political relations. Union provides grants, impressive labs, arts facilities, and personal guidance to help students launch their research dreams. During the annual Steinmetz Symposium, more than 400 students show off their work on subjects from coral reefs' fragility to French horror films. Research happens every day in our state-of-the-art laboratories, of course, but you're just as likely to be in the darkroom, the dance studio, a local stream, or a village across the globe. One of the significant advantages of attending a small liberal arts college is the personal attention you're able to receive. We're highly invested in your success, which is why we offer a wide variety of programs, support services, resources, and offices dedicated to ensuring that your academic experience is rewarding and meets your individual needs. Advising at Union engages students in an interactive process with a faculty member to help them make informed choices that maximize the benefits of a liberal arts education. It has a developmental component requiring different approaches with students at different times in their academic careers. We believe a good advisor helps teach students independence, and we want you to feel confident and excited about your academic decisions. Our Common Curriculum provides the breadth that defines a liberal arts education through requirements in linguistic and cultural competency, quantitative reasoning, and science and technology. The curriculum is designed to enable students to become lifelong learners by analyzing, synthesizing, integrating, and communicating effectively. The first-year preceptorial, or "precept," emphasizes critical reading and thinking skills, writing, speaking, and cultural diversity. All first-year students will take a precept course when they come to Union. There are several on-campus services, resources, and offices dedicated to ensuring you have what you need to feel successful and supported throughout your time at Union. To say that the Union has a strong culture of community outreach is an understatement. The College has been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll five times, a reflection of a deep commitment to fostering a strong relationship with the local community.

In small classroom settings, supported and challenged in positive ways by peers, and encouraged by talented faculty members, KUA ensures that every student will develop a set of essential skills through the breadth of programs offered. Additional mastery and depth of knowledge can be attained by participation in Signature and Scholar Programs, which promote leadership and add academic rigor to the student experience. At KUA, learning happens everywhere, all the time, which means it does not stop when classes are over. Our program is designed to enable each student to achieve academic success through personal growth. Students encounter learning and growth in the classroom, on the sports field, in the theater, in the dorms—everywhere on campus. Student life is about engaging with the curriculum to allow connections between the classroom and the community. Student life is also about making connections that will last a lifetime. Another critical component of education is learning to meet challenges with energy, critical analysis, and the expectation that experience grants wisdom. At KUA, this begins with SMART Boards in every classroom, the KUA Laptop Requirement to ensure that every student is equipped with the appropriate device and support for their academic computing needs, and the adoption of digital textbooks across a number of our course offerings, which allows us to further embrace digital content and enhancements in and out of the classroom. Utilizing cutting-edge technology gives faculty and students the freedom to be creative and move beyond the traditional walls and constraints of "old school" education. We strive to make our classrooms more interactive and empower students to play an active role in their education. We see the impact of this every day—whether it is guiding students as they use Twitter to follow up-to-the-minute, first-person accounts of a revolution unfolding half a world away or watching them win the Massachusetts FIRST Tech Challenge Championships as part of our STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) Program. Kimball Union Academy's classrooms are all equipped with SMART Boards and outstanding audio/visual capabilities. These technologies are integrated into the curriculum in various ways to emphasize 21st Century skills and learning outcomes. Whether through collaborative problem-solving, global interconnectivity, access to databases, or refining information literacy, our objective is to advance learning with these technological tools.

Fork Union Military Academy is one of the leading US college preparatory military boarding schools for boys in grades 7-12 and postgraduate located in Fork Union, Virginia, right in the heart of central Virginia. We offer high-quality academics and athletics within a structure built around character development, self-discipline, responsibility, leadership development, and Christian values. The campus of Fork Union Military Academy provides a sanctuary from so many of the stresses and pressures that confront young men today. Each year, on average, we welcome young men from all around the USA and world...from about 35 states and approximately ten or more countries. We offer a diverse and welcoming environment. Located on 1,000 acres in rural central Virginia, the Academy is a beautiful and peaceful place, far from the city's noise and commotion, the aimless adolescent wandering of the suburban shopping malls, and the powerful peer pressures of popular culture. Most young men come to Fork Union Military Academy in search of a place where they can perform up to their full potential— a place where they can excel in both the classroom and the athletic field. These students find what young men have been seeking here since 1898: a challenging educational experience in a safe, structured environment where distractions are few and where every aspect of student life encourages academic achievement and personal growth. Our unique curriculum schedule, known as the One Subject Plan, has been in use for many decades. In addition to the course material, thousands of young men have experienced the absolute value of mastering the subject material they set out to learn. Studying one subject at a time is a unique experience intended to sharpen a young man's focus and improve his ability to concentrate. This is why you can count on our college acceptance rate, hitting 100% every year. Fork Union Military Academy was founded in 1898 by Dr. William Hatcher, a prominent Baptist minister. Christian values and biblical principles continue to undergird the entire program of Fork Union Military Academy. Our cadets are expected to conduct themselves with kindness and respect. This expectation is reinforced and clarified in the chapel services and student assemblies held during the week and Sunday mornings. Our goal is to provide young men a framework within which they may apply themselves to achieving their academic potential while growing as men of character and integrity. While the Academy is proud of our affiliation with the Baptist General Association of Virginia, our student body reflects the broad diversity of religious belief in our world. About 20% of our cadets are Baptist, another 20% are Catholic, approximately 20% are of another Christian denomination, nearly 20% are of another religious faith such as Jewish, Buddhist, or Muslim, and about 20% do not specify any religious affiliation. The goal of the military system at Fork Union Military Academy is not to turn young men into soldiers. Indeed, we have no affiliation with any branch of the armed forces. Instead, our goal is to use the best aspects of the military system to teach young men the value of being responsible for their actions, doing their work that needs to be done, and working with others toward a common purpose. We have identified a set of broadly agreed upon positive military courtesies, such as... Respect for authority Punctuality Self-discipline Accountability Personal and corporate hygiene We have superimposed these values on our living and learning environment—in the classroom, the locker room, the dining room, and the dorm room. At Fork Union Military Academy, our cadets are expected to tuck in their shirts, say "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am," to stand when a lady enters and opens doors for others. Our cadets learn to look at others in the eye, address others with respect, and speak confidently. Our cadets are taught to "sweep in the corners"—that is, they are expected to pay attention to detail, be accountable for their actions, and set high standards for themselves and others. Our structure and discipline environment helps limit distractions and encourage students to focus on achievement in academics, athletics, and personal growth. View full school

In that same month, eleven teachers held classes for former slaves at two missions in the city. By November 1865, the Mission Society had established and was officially holding classes for Richmond Theological School for Freedmen, one of the four institutions forming the "Union" that gives our University its name.

In 1874 the church founded its first college in Battle Creek, Michigan. A few years later, the rapidly growing California church began looking for a good school location in Northern California. One of PUC's significant contributions to the Adventist system was introducing graduate work in 1934 to establish a very successful summer program called the Advanced Bible School. After the 1936 session, the school was transferred to Washington, D.C., and became the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. Today the college's beautiful natural setting and California style continue to welcome hundreds of students each year, offering a community of real learning and spiritual authenticity.
