Our Mission

Orlando Junior Academy exists to provide quality Christian education by offering a balanced physical, mental, spiritual and social program.

School Profile

Orlando Junior Academy was established by three Seventh-day Adventist Churches (Kress Memorial, Orlando Central, and Florida Hospital Church) in the Florida Conference of SDA to offer a profitable and meaningful education for its constituent students. Orlando Junior Academy is open to all young people whose purpose is doing an earnest and faithful work and who have a sincere desire to develop a Christian character.

Philosophy

The educational philosophy of Orlando Junior Academy is held in common with the institutions of the Seventh-day Adventist School System. We believe that the major responsibility of education lies in the home. However, the purpose of Orlando Junior Academy is to aid the home in the training of the heart, head, and hands.

We believe in an education that provides not only mental and physical discipline, but emphasizes the development of a character that gives rise to conduct marked by integrity, loyalty to God and country, self-discipline, tolerance, reverence, civic, and religious responsibility.

Accreditation

Orlando Junior Academy is fully accredited by the Southern Union Conference Department of Education, The Florida Conference Department of Education and the Florida Association of Academic Non-Public Schools (FAANS).
