The Collegiate Lesson Study has been replaced by “InVerse”. which is described as the study guide for those who want to study more deeply. This page provides links to the InVerse website where you can access their materials. Please understand that InVerse is not a Sabbath School Net site and we have no control of the content.

Pliz put this InVerse in manual form.some don't have access to smart phones n internet
The Inverse website indicates that you can purchase hard copies of the lessons.
However, the site also has links to a number of topical studies that you can download, print and use as study guides fora class.
This request has been made on several occasion but i believe they dont see the need for it since most youths always find another congregation to sit in and are never on time! but not every youth is the same because there are a few intrested ones. i think they see it as a waste to order that quaterly.
If the church won't order the age-appropriate quarterly, you do have the option of ordering these yourself from your local Adventist Book Center. If finances are a problem, you might use some of the offering you would normally give for church and/or Sabbath School Expense, since that offering is intended to cover the cost of lessons.
It seems to me that young adults who are interested enough could participate in an adult class, since the Collegiate quarterly covers the same ground as the adult quarterly, but in a different way. Adding the collegiate perspective to an adult class would be beneficial for all concerned.
I'm clueless as to how to do that, but if they worked for you, it is probably just me! I'm a superintendent, trying to find ways to encourage our youth to study more, be more involved, etc., etc.
Thank you, for trying to help!

I was pressed to write this comment to tell you how invaluable July-September 2019 issuance of the Collegiate Quarterly has been for me. As a black woman who is trying to find space in this world and in Seventh Day Adventism for both my blackness and my womanness, sometimes it is hard to remember that Christ gave me value. Sometimes, I feel like to be Christian is to deny my identities and become a part of normative culture, an ask that is so maddeningly painful. I know that Christ gave all of me worth, but sometimes that is hard to remember, and it makes me lose hope. The July-September issuance of the collegiate quarterly revived my hope. It tells me that there is space in Adventism for activism. That I don't have to feel like my blackness is being ignored, but that it should be embraced. It gives me so much hope to recognize that this world is not equal, that injustice exists, and that the word of my Father compels us to do something about that. This quarterly has allowed me to see that my church does not turn a blind eye to injustice and that has allowed me to align my faith to my activism even stronger. It has allowed me to recognize that Christ is in the business of freeing souls from sin and making wrongs right.
I am proud to say that I am a Bible believing, Seventh-Day Adventist black woman, who awaits the second coming of Christ with brothers and sisters who have such love and care for all.
Thank you for this offering of blessing.
We use InVerse for our collegiate class...its pretty good lesson study. Inversebible.org
Unfortunately, bringing back the Collegiate is not within our power. Sabbath School Net does not have any say in the matter as we are an independent ministry staffed by volunteers. We only provide links to these resources as a service to our readers. You may like to make your concerns known to the Personal Ministries department of the General Conference.
I am new in this dept can u help me I was elected to be the supretendent this year
Hi Tatenda,
If you want the official word then you will need to look at the Church manual. The current one (2021) may be found by following this link:
https://www.adventist.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/seventh-day-adventist-church-manual_2015_updated.pdf
The relevant section for Sabbath School starts on page 97.
Having said that though. The real task of the Sabbath School leader is to actively encourage the study of the Sabbath School lessons, regarding them not as the final word on study but rather as a launching pad for further spiritual enrichment,
