History
Crawford Adventist Academy (CAA) first began in 1953 when it located in a church. It grew from Toronto Junior Academy to Crawford Adventist Academy and has provided a full grade 12 program since the early 1980s . From that time it has been considered one of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's major educational endeavours in Canada.
The Seventh-day Adventist educational system is the second-largest Christian school system in the world, after the Roman Catholic system (see Catholic school). It has a total of 7,598 educational institutions operating in over 100 countries around the world with over 1.5 million students world-wide. The denominationally-based school system began in the 1870s. The church supports holistic education: "Mental, physical, social, and spiritual health, intellectual growth, and service to humanity form a core of values that are essential aspects of the Adventist education philosophy." The Journal of Adventist Education (JAE) is published.
