Andrews Academy was established in 1922, when Emmanuel Missionary College (EMC), later renamed Andrews University, organized the institution with dedicated faculty. Before 1922, EMC included the elementary and high school grades as part of its institution's course offerings. The academy currently occupies a 78,000-square-foot (7,200 m2) building adjacent to the campus of Andrews University.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
