Minnesota Conference welcomes our new Maplewood Academy principal, Jeremy Everhart! Everhart and his family come from overseas. He has been serving as principal for Taiwan Adventist International School for the past 12 years.
After graduating from a boarding academy himself, Everhart attended Andrews University where he graduated with a BA in history and a minor in geography.
Everhart moved to Taiwan in 2004 to teach social studies and ESL. In 2018 he was part of the team that founded TAIS and served as principal there for 12 years. He also served on the Adventist Accreditation Association and chaired the committee in preparation for three accreditation committee visits.
Everhart’s passion is to inspire, guide and support each child and family to mirror the Creator’s original plan. God created the family home as the learning environment for children, thus “all versions of education at every academic level are improved by maintaining the fundamentals of nurture that God created for us, which are to grow, learn and expand on who we are as humans so we better reflect His divine character,” he explains.
Everhart hopes to make Maplewood Academy not only a place to focus on the physical and intellectual aspects of education, but also see that the school intentionally focuses on the spiritual, emotional and social growth of the individual. He believes there needs to be a “two-way communication” to affirm our shared vision for education, with the ultimate purpose of helping our young people either make or maintain a saving relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
As Maplewood Academy Principal, Everhart intends to collaborate with the home, the church and the conference to foster growth in Maplewood.
We are excited that Jeremy, Summer and Evan are joining our team of highly qualified and dedicated teachers, staff, students and parents in the Maplewood Academy constituency. The conference administration appreciates the constituency’s continued support for the mission of Maplewood Academy. We thank the church and the members who form a strong team for mission.
Please join us and welcome Jeremy Everhart and his family to the Minnesota Conference family. Let us continue to work together, keeping our eyes focused on Jesus Christ. We look forward to the 2020-21 school year with the Lord’s guidance.
