Guam Adventist Academy (GAA) is a K-12 private school run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Guam and the Seventh-day Adventist Guam Micronesia Mission,[1] in Yona, Guam. The school's Windward Hills campus is across the street from the Windward Hills Golf Club.[2]
In 1949, Pastor Dunton founded what would become the GAA in Dededo, with an enrollment of 26 pupils. The second GAA school in Talofofo was opened in 1951.[3]
By 1957, the two schools merged into one K-12 institution, located in Agaña Heights. In July 1963, the institution secured what would become its current location in Windward Hills.[1]
In 2007, the school had about 100 students.[4]
As of 2010, the school combined the high school graduation and the eighth grade promotion exercises into a single ceremony.[5]
