Hello

A letter from our principal

I wish to express my deepest appreciation for being trusted to lead this beautiful institution. My hope is to strengthen the Christ-centered mission of Glendale Adventist Academy while building a school culture where every student is known, challenged, and inspired. I am committed to strengthening academics, expanding opportunities in the arts and leadership, and developing meaningful pathways that prepare students for college, career, and service. Together with our families, church, and dedicated staff, we are working to ensure GAA continues to grow as a place where faith, learning, and community thrive.

Accreditation

Glendale Adventist Academy

GAA is accredited through the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools and Colleges, and Universities, Inc. (AAA) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The academy first earned its SDA accreditation in 1936 and has held WASC accreditation since 1964. The elementary received its first WASC accreditation in 2004 when the two campuses completed a combined K-12 self-study.
