Loma Linda Academy (LLA) is a Seventh-day Adventist K-12 college preparatory coeducational school in Loma Linda, California, United States. [1] It is the largest Seventh-day Adventist K-12 school in the United States, [5] with 1289 students as of 2015. [6] [5] The city of Loma Linda "is home to one of the largest concentrations of Seventh-day Adventists in the world"; [7] LLA is one of a number of Adventist institutions located in the town, including Loma Linda University and Loma Linda University Church.

Contents

LLA comprises four separate, semi-autonomous schools: Loma Linda Academy Children's Center, a preschool, Loma Linda Elementary, an elementary school; Loma Linda Academy Junior High, a junior high school; and Loma Linda Academy, a high school. [8] In addition to an academy-wide head of schools, each school has its own principal. [8] The current head of schools is Iveth Valenzuela. [9]

History

The school was founded on January 13, 1906, [10] with six students in a pitched tent on Sanitarium Hill, Loma Linda. [11] It was previously named Loma Linda Union Academy. [12] In 1921, as the school continued to grow, LLA had its first graduated class. In the 1930s, a building, now known as Franz Hall, was constructed in an effort to continue as a thriving school. [11]

Forty-two years later after the school was founded, the main building of the school was burned down in a fire, resulting in multiple records and documents being lost. [13]

In 1969, San Timoteo Creek, which forms the northern boundary of the school's property, [14] flooded the entire school and parts of the city, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to the school. [15] [16] [17]

Campus

The Loma Linda Academy campus is located in the north western portion of the city of Loma Linda. It is bordered on the east by Anderson St. and lies between San Timoteo Creek on the north and the Union Pacific tracks on the south. The campus is split by Academy St. which separates the elementary (LLE) on the south from the junior high, high school, and their athletic fields on the north side. LLA does not provide busing for students, but the school can be reached by public transit via Omnitrans fixed-route service and sbX. There is also a Class I path planned for the banks of San Timoteo Creek. [22]
