Fraser Valley Adventist Academy

Fraser Valley Adventist Academy (known as FVAA) is an independent Christian school[1] located in Aldergrove, British Columbia[2] Canada that offers Kindergarten through Grade 12 education from a single campus. The school is part of the Seventh-day Adventist worldwide education system,[3] the second largest Christian school system in the world.[4][5][6]

The school was founded in 1974 when several smaller schools run by individual Seventh-day Adventist Churches in the Fraser Valley decided to combine efforts and create a constituency school sponsored by a group of churches. Students are generally drawn from Surrey, BC east to Chilliwack, BC, on both sides of the Fraser River including Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, Maple Ridge and from communities in Whatcom County, Washington State. FVAA accepts international students each year.

Enrollment for the 2014-2015 year was 206 students in grades K - 12 and included 28 international students from Asia, South America and the United States.[7]
