Student Life
At Applegate Adventist Jr. Academy and Preschool, student life is rooted in Christian values, respect, and academic excellence. We welcome students from all backgrounds who are committed to growth and a Christ-centered lifestyle. While church membership isn’t required, all students are expected to honor the values of the Seventh-day Adventist faith and participate in spiritual activities. Life at AAJA emphasizes strong character, high standards, and a supportive learning environment. Students pledge to respect school policies and strive for their personal best. In return, they are nurtured in a community that encourages purpose, faith, and service.

Experience Applegate
At AAJA, students experience a well-rounded education rooted in biblical values. Each day begins with prayer and worship, setting a Christ-centered tone for learning. Our small class sizes foster close relationships, hands-on learning, and personalized attention. Students enjoy a balanced program that includes academics, music, outdoor play, and service opportunities. Teachers model Christian principles and encourage students to live out their faith in everyday life. From the classroom to the playground, AAJA is a place where hearts grow as much as minds.
