Mission Statement

Fletcher Academy is committed to "Educating for Eternity" by providing a distinctly Adventist education which prepares every student for a life of service.

Philosophy

Fletcher Academy upholds the beliefs of the traditional Seventh-day Adventist Church as outlined in the Bible. We believe that God created the world in seven literal days, and that man, made in the image of God, was the crowning act of creation. Recognizing sin's reversal of God's original plan, we believe the purpose of education is to elevate man so that he may once again reflect the image of his Creator. Fletcher Academy wants its students to be prepared for Christ's second-coming and citizenship in His eternal kingdom, as well as developing into good, patriotic, law-abiding citizens.
