Academics

For over 100 years, Avondale SDA School has existed to provide quality Christian education to the students of the urban community of Chattanooga. The rigorous academics, taught by outstanding faculty, provides a nurturing and safe place for our students to develop their God given gifts and talents to lead and serve.

Avondale SDA School seeks to transform the hearts and minds of our students with the timeless truths of the Holy Scriptures as they are interwoven throughout their daily academic studies. We believe this will shape their understanding of who they are now, who God wants them to become and how they fit into the their present community and the entire story of redemption.
