Petersen Adventist School welcomes elementary-age students from any, or no, faith backgrounds. We are chartered through the Seventh-day Adventist church; however, neither membership nor attendance at a Seventh-day Adventist church is required for student enrollment.
We are a Christian school: we pray with and for our students, we have religion courses, and we worship together. We work to weave God's great, amazing love throughout our program. We strongly believe that no one should feel pressured to make a decision to join our church. While we celebrate every new member, Petersen Adventist School's primary focus is to provide high-quality, Christian education.

Additional Educational Options: In addition to our program, families may access other educational options, including local public school districts (Columbus and Fall River), other public schools through the Wisconsin DPI Open Enrollment program, area private schools (Randolph Christian School Society Inc., Saint John’s Lutheran School, St. Jerome’s School, Zion Lutheran Church & School, Discovery Charter School), and virtual public or private school options.
