DayStar Adventist Academy is situated in a small Utah valley, 20 miles east of Moab, displaying some of the most awesome scenery and majestic mountains.
A college entrance level academic program is offered at DayStar. Juniors and seniors take the ACT test to enhance their opportunity. Also a Heaven to Heaven curriculum is being developed which emphasizes His Story, as the foundation for every class.
Agricultural training has been one of the school's biggest assets producing alfalfa, wheat, and a market garden program. Student school fees can be reduced by those who work through the summer.
The fall/winter semester is highlighted by a full week of survival camping. Most students think it is the best week of the school year. Christmas concerts in various local churches finish up this semester. Spring finds them busy with more music tours--some as far away as Reno, Nevada. A two week mission trip is the highlight of this semester.
Daily life on campus consists of strong basic academics, work education, and a belief that character is the most important part of development. Along with these daily activities, students also enjoy rafting and kayaking on the nearby Colorado River, mountain biking and hiking in the state and national parks, and snow boarding and skiing at the nearby resorts.
Through all these activities and instructions, To Know God and Make Him Known, Is Our Business Here.
