Teachers value and care for the students, but there are not as many academic opportunities as you might expect from a school that's tuition is $9,000.

I enjoyed my time at La Sierra Academy. It is a very small school with few students. I only had 28 other students in my class. The teaching is very hands on because of the small size. I felt like I got a very good education at this school. I didn't feel afraid to ask questions or stay after class to get more help. The community is very nice and welcoming and is a community that will always be there for you to help and support in any way.

La Sierra Academy is a school in which God and Seventh-Day Adventism is a theme that is consistently worked into most of the things that take place here. In all honesty, the school isn't great, but at the same time, it isn't terrible.
