History
From 1957 several graduate programs, primarily in the area of religion, were offered on the campus of Philippine Union College (PUC), now the Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP). These programs were organized into a Theological Seminary, which became an institution of the Far Eastern Division of Seventh-day Adventists in 1978.
AIIAS officially came into existence on February 24, 1986 through the Philippine Presidential Decree 2021. On October 6, 1996, an action taken by the Annual Council of the Adventist Church, made AIIAS an institution of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. In 1991, the school was moved to its current location in Lalaan I, Silang, Cavite, Philippines. Prior to that, it was located on the campus of the Adventist University of the Philippines.
AIIAS Department of Online Learning was established in 2001.
