Castle Valley Academy is a private boarding high school located in Castle Valley, Utah. It is affiliated with (but not owned or operated by) the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[1][2][3][4]
History
Daystar (now Castle) Adventist Academy began as Castle Valley Institute. DayStar began in 1970 when two doctors in Salt Lake City saw the need for an Adventist academy in the Nevada-Utah Conference. The academy operates Castle Valley Farms, one of the largest self-supporting school-based farms in the country, and offers a variety of life skill courses, agriculture being just one of many. These technical and occupational classes give students ideas, and hopefully a calling for their future careers. The school is located in Castle Valley, a green desert oasis nestled between two red mesas, with the towering 12,000 ft. La Sal Mountains at one end and the Colorado River at the other.
