From South Lancaster Academy

Let me share my school with you.

We have been providing Adventist Christian education to our community for 140 years! The year we opened our doors was the same year Thomas Edison flipped on the switch to the first commercial electrical power plant, ushering in the electrical age.

What makes South Lancaster Academy so special that we have been around all of these years? Well, I could give you all kinds of cliché statements that any number of schools could say the same thing about their schools, but I won’t. I’ll simply say this, we’re still here because God has a purpose for each and every one of our students, faculty, and staff. Whether it’s to change the world or make the world directly in front of us a better place, we are all here for a purpose. My purpose: To help my students find and follow Jesus and to provide them with the best education possible that sets them up for success in both their spiritual life and professional life.

Thanks for stopping by!

Principal David Branum
