DayStar Adventist Academy is a rural Christian boarding school and a supporting ministry of the Seventh-‐day Adventist church. We are located in beautiful Castle Valley, Utah, an oasis surrounded by majestic red mesas and situated between the La Sal Mountains and the Colorado River.
Positioned on 320 acres of farmland in the high desert of southeastern Utah, the school operates Castle Valley Farms where our students are trained in natural and sustainable methods of agriculture. Our program is unique in that through our agricultural and outdoor education programs, our students have abundant opportunities for spending time in nature and learning of the Creator through His works.
Our school is small by design, enabling us to maintain a home-‐like environment. Our high staff-‐to-‐student ratio enables us to mentor students more effectively as well as focus on their individual needs.
To provide an educational program that develops the intellect supplies training in skilled trades, and makes the Bible its foundation while inspiring students to seek God and discover His will for their lives.
- We believe the primary goal of true education is to build godly character—engaging the mind and body in activities and themes that are in harmony with God's Spirit.
- Jesus' upbringing is to be our example of true education. We aim that our young people will have the opportunity to gain heavenly wisdom by learning from God's lesson books as Christ did.
- We purpose—by our daily Bible classes, our times of worship and outreach, and our examples—to inspire students to love the study of God's word and to accept Jesus as their Best Friend.
- We are committed to providing abundant opportunities for our students to spend time in nature—learning of God through His created works.
Through our unique program, we seek to help students develop practical life skills, critical thinking abilities, and a heart for service—equipping them to effectively minister to others.
