Memphis Junior Academy merged with Greater Memphis Adventist Academy in 2022 to form what is now Memphis Adventist Academy. Both schools are now one school that is housed under one roof in the Memphis Junior Academy building. It is located at 50 North Mendenhall Road in Memphis. This Seventh-Day Adventist school serves students in grades pre-K through 10th grade. Memphis Junior Academy opened in 1910 and moved around the city before finally settling in East Memphis. The Memphis First Seventh-day Adventist Church has operated the school since its inception, being joined by the Raleigh Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1951. Memphis Adventist Academy offers small class sizes in a Christian environment. Some of the values that align with the school’s purpose are academic success, physical health, selfless service, and spiritual journey. It is accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools.
