Ephesus Academy is a private, religious school in Birmingham that is part of a global Seventh-day Adventist educational network. Originally established in 1897, its current structure was built in 1975 as enrollment continued to expand. In 1987, another building addition was completed, including a child development center. The facility now consists of 14 classrooms, a library, science lab, gymnasium, cafeteria and large playground area. Ephesus Academy serves students from preschool through 12th grade and has a total enrollment of about 160 students.
Student meals are included in tuition costs, and transportation is provided for a fee. Most Ephesus Academy graduates go on to attend a four-year college, and the school offers online university classes.
The school strives for students to be academically successful and community-service oriented. Part of the school’s mission is for the faculty to promote safety and academic excellence while being sensitive to students’ individual needs.
