In today’s digital world, schools rely on technology more than ever for teaching, administration, and communication. The North American Division can help your organization provide IT services designed specifically for Adventist academies, colleges, and universities—ensuring that technology supports education, rather than becoming a burden.

What is the NADcloud?

The NADcloud is a Division initiative offering secure, reliable, and easy-to-use suite of IT solutions for Adventist schools. Whether you need a place to store data, keep your website running smoothly, or ensure that your systems are protected from disasters, the NADcloud is here to support you. Our services allow educators and administrators to focus on what truly matters—delivering Christ-centered education—while we handle some of the technical details.

How Can NADcloud Support Your School?

If your academy or higher education institution relies on technology for teaching and operations, the NADcloud can help in several ways:

• Reliable IT Infrastructure: Schools can host their critical data and systems on the NADcloud’s professionally managed servers. This means fewer technical problems and more time for teaching. AE Connect, Adventist Giving, and other NAD platforms all run on the NADcloud, and the NAD offers this same service to schools.
• Website Hosting: The NADcloud ensures that school websites remain up and running, providing an easy way for students, parents, and staff to access important information.
• Disaster Recovery: In case of an emergency—such as a cyberattack or system failure—the NADcloud can quickly restore your school’s critical data and systems to keep operations running smoothly.
• Colocation Services: Schools that own their own IT equipment can house it in the NADcloud’s data center, ensuring redundant and reliable power, cooling, and internet access.

What About Elementary Schools?

While the NADcloud currently serves academies and higher education institutions, elementary schools are encouraged to connect with their local conference office. Many conferences are exploring ways to integrate NADcloud services at a broader level, allowing elementary schools to benefit through a conference-led approach.

Next Steps:

By working together, we can ensure that Adventist education remains strong, secure, and ready for the future. To learn more about the NADcloud services and how they can support your institution, or to request a new service, visit nad.cloud
