The average class size is twenty-five students, and the school has a graduation rate of 95%. On the IA campus students obtain a strong academic education and develop a good work ethic useful later in life. Not only does Indiana Academy teach students Biblical knowledge, but the students also serve the community with activities such as Project 58, as well as engaging in mission projects all over the world.
It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[1][2][3][4]
History
The school first opened on October 29, 1902, as Boggstown Manual Training Academy. The school was named after the town it was built in. In 1904 the school had moved to Beechwood, IN. where it was named Beechwood Academy. It was in 1921 that the school moved to its present-day location, and was called Indiana Academy. The location in Cicero, IN was chosen to be able to have a school farm and to be located near a railroad. The first Administration Building, built in 1923, was destroyed by fire in 1995. The Gym was completely built by 1952.
Accreditation
Indiana Academy is accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools (MSCSS). IA is also accredited by the Board of Regents of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and the National Council for Private School Accreditation.
