Our History

The school was founded in 1904 as part of the Washington Training Institute (now known as Washington Adventist University). Takoma Academy became a separate institution as part of the Potomac Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in 1932. In 1952, the school moved from the basement of Columbia Hall to its present location on Carroll Avenue.

Takoma Academy has a rich tradition of being a strong academic institution with a commitment to the spiritual development of its students.

Our Philosophy

Takoma Academy was established to provide educational programming based on the beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The institution welcomes both Adventist and non Adventist scholars. As part of the Adventist educational system Takoma Academy believes the aim of true education is to restore human beings into the image of God and the purpose is not only to impart academic knowledge but to foster a harmonious development of the human being which includes: spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social-emotional--a process that spans a lifetime.
