Burton Adventist Academy is a private school located in Arlington, Texas. It covers the grades from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Burton is associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[1][2][3][4] It is a co-ed school and offers a basic high school diploma, advanced diploma, and honors diploma.

Curriculum

The schools curriculum consists primarily of the standard courses taught at college preparatory schools across the world. All students are required to take classes in the core areas of English, Basic Sciences, Mathematics, a Foreign Language, and Social Sciences. It is mainly based on Bible studies and teaches students to be more closer to God. A new program was added to the school they allow the students to use electronics devices which are IPads.

Spiritual aspects

All students take religion classes each year that they are enrolled. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines. Instructors in other disciplines also begin each class period with prayer or a short devotional thought, many which encourage student input. Weekly, the entire student body gathers together in the auditorium for an hour-long chapel service. Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually oriented programming that relies on student involvement.
