Problem. Central to Christian education are the twin goals of leading students into a personal relationship with Christ and nurturing student spirituality.
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to research (1) possible differences in the levels of student spirituality between Seventh-day Adventist day academies in the United States, (2) possible differences in the levels of spiritual nurture in selected dimensions of Christian education , (3) possible relationships between the selected dimensions of Christian education and student spirituality, and (4) educational administrative implications for enhancing student spirituality in Christian schools.
Method. Seventh-day Adventist day academies in the United States constituted the population from which a sample of 20 schools was randomly selected. Two Likert type attitudinal scales, the Spirituality Inventory (SI) and the Spiritual Nurture Inventory (SNI), were developed for the study. The reliability coefficient for the SI scale was.9343 and for the SNI scale.9222. The statistical analyses employed to test the three hypotheses included analysis of variance and multiple-regression.
Results. In response to Hypothesis 1 and 2, statistically significant differences were found in the levels of student spirituality and in the levels of spiritual nurture in Seventh-day Adventist day academies in the United States at
