Golden Gate Academy was founded in 1923 as a Seventh-day Adventist school on Alcatraz Avenue in Berkeley, California. It remained there for 23 years until it moved to its current position in the Oakland Hills next to Holy Names College in 1949.
The Northern California Conference of the Adventist church closed down Golden Gate Academy for lack of enrollment. The grounds are now used as a private arts school. The nearest K-10 Adventist school to GGA is San Francisco Adventist School, located near City College of SF. And the nearest Adventist high school is Pleasant Hill Adventist Academy.
Famous quotes containing the words golden, gate and/or academy:
“But when the bowels of the earth were sought,
And men her golden entrails did espy,
This mischief then into the world was brought,
This framed the mint which coined our misery.
...
And thus began th’exordium of our woes,
The fatal dumb-show of our misery;
Here sprang the tree on which our mischief grows,
The dreary subject of world’s tragedy.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
“You, mistress,
That have the office opposite to Saint Peter,
And keeps the gate of hell!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When the State wishes to endow an academy or university, it grants it a tract of forest land: one saw represents an academy, a gang, a university.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
