Mission Statement
The Louisville Adventist Academy family exists to:
- Show children Jesus
- Teach them to think
- Nurture their love for Him & others
- Empower them to serve
Our Philosophy
The Louisville Adventist Academy is operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church to provide a spiritually oriented education for children. A belief in the existence of the Creator God is fundamental in the philosophy of Seventh-day Adventist schools. We respect His divine authority and recognize His intervention in human affairs. We believe that true education develops the spiritual, mental, and physical powers of each student; preparing them for the joy of service in this life and for the higher joy of service in the life to come. To achieve this goal, we encourage each student to:
Develop a personal relationship with God and his fellow men as stated in Matthew 2:37-39
Master the basic academic skills
Value labor, physical and mental, as the blessing God intended
Cultivate physical fitness, mental ability, and moral purity as the blessing God intended.
The Louisville Adventist Academy is operated in harmony with the guidance and direction of the Office of Education, North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

“After spending eight summers at Adventist summer camps, I found my passion in leading young souls to Christ. I also enjoy finding ways to make history and literature both relevant to my students, and use these academic disciplines as a means of connecting students to their own unique callings in Christ. I believe that the best education occurs when students build lasting relationships of trust with their teachers and peers that transcend the classroom.”

Whitney Robison
Grades 5-6
Bachelor of Arts in Education
Master of Science in Literacy Education
“Before I began teaching I spent many years working at summer camps and being involved in children’s ministry. I enjoy design and creativity, and have applied those skills as yearbook sponsor for the past three years. I enjoy teaching students to become self-directed learners with strong social and personal skills. My teaching philosophy and approach to discipline are strongly influenced by the “Love and Logic” model based on William Glasser’s “choice theory.” Studying scripture with my students and teaching them how to better understand and explore the Bible in their personal devotional life is important to me. I feel a particular passion for the disciplines of reading and writing, and I feel that students with a strong foundation in these fields will excel in all other disciplines.”
