Oakwood Adventist Academy

Oakwood Adventist Academy is a Seventh-day Adventist co-educational K-12 school located on the campus of Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system. Oakwood Adventist Academy exists to provide a spiritual, academic, social and service-oriented environment to develop, nurture, and affirm students for a lifetime of service to God and humanity.

Oakwood Adventist Academy was founded in 1896 as Oakwood Industrial School. The high school served as a boarding school and preparatory school operated by Oakwood College for the majority of its existence. In 1974, the academy became a day school operated by a local constituency of Seventh-day Adventist churches called the Huntsville Area Seventh-day Adventist Churches. The school has had many names including Oakwood Manual Training School, Oakwood College Academy, Oakwood Christian Academy, and Oakwood Academy. The administration and constituency voted to change the name of the school to Oakwood Adventist Academy in 2002. Today, the school is governed by the Huntsville Area Seventh-day Adventist Church School Board and the South Central Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
