History

Ozark Adventist Academy, located on Dawn Hill E. Road just off Arkansas Highway 59 between Gentry and Siloam Springs, Arkansas, has a rich heritage dating back to around 1900. Originally established as a small community church school, it evolved into Flint Creek Junior Academy and served the local area until 1941, when it was taken over by the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference and renamed Ozark Academy. In 1976, the school adopted its current name, Ozark Adventist Academy. Today, students graduating from Ozark Adventist Academy can take pride in the exceptional Christian education they have received and the lasting connections they have forged as part of our school family.
