It highlights traditional Seventh-day Adventist principles of health and education, especially as espoused by early Seventh-day Adventist founder Ellen G. White, who wrote extensively on health and education. Although founded by Adventists, it has never been legally affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Although it is spelled like a German word, the name "Weimar" is derived from the name of a Native American chief named "Weemah" and is pronounced like "Weemer" (IPA wiːmər).
