Oakwood Adventist Academy, also referred to as Oakwood Academy or OAA, is a Seventh-day Adventist co-educational PreK-12 school located on the beautiful campus of Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama. Oakwood Adventist Academy was founded in 1896 as Oakwood Industrial School in order to train young people of African descent. The high school then served as a boarding school and preparatory sc

hool operated by Oakwood (College) for the majority of its existence. In 1974, the academy became a day school operated by a local constituency of Seventh-day Adventist churches called the Huntsville Area Seventh-day Adventist (HASDA) Churches. The school has had many names including Oakwood Manual Training School, Oakwood College Academy, Oakwood Christian Academy, and Oakwood Academy. The administration and constituency voted to change the name of the school to Oakwood Adventist Academy in 2002. Today, the school is governed by the Huntsville Area Seventh-day Adventist (HASDA) School Board and the South Central Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

Happy Administrative Professionals Week!

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart...” (Colossians 3:23), and these incredible individuals live that mission every single day. Their work isn’t just a job, it’s a ministry, and they are truly the hands and feet that contribute to our school moving forward.

To our families and the OAA community: Let’s shower them with appreciation! Whether it’s a handwritten note, a kind word at the front desk, or a small treat, let’s make sure they feel the love they give us all year long. Drop a “Thank You” or a 💚 in the comments below to let them know you’re grateful! 👇🏽

Rise and shine, Mustangs! We’ve got some exciting plans this weekend, and want you to join us.

In just 3 days, we’ll be hitting the pavement at Oakwood University for the OABA 5K, and we are looking for some company at the starting line!

Full transparency, the real reason we’re running: Imagine walking into a brand-new school, the hallways feel foreign, the work is harder, and you feel that you’re navigating it all without a map. We’ve all been there.

Mrs. Garnett, VP for OAA and the founder of Bridge Academy started this program because she lived that experience. She knows exactly how it feels to walk into a new chapter without a guide. As such, she’s made it her mission to ensure our rising 7th and 9th graders never have to.

This race is the “guide.” Because OABA is a self-funded initiative, every single registration fee goes directly toward giving these students the academic tools, spiritual foundation, and community support they need to thrive. We aren’t just running a 5K; we are funding the mentorship that changes a student’s entire trajectory.

🕒 The Clock is Ticking!

Registration is STILL OPEN, but we need your help to hit our goals this week.

* When: This Sunday, April 12th @ 8:00 AM
* Where: Oakwood University Campus
* Why: To make sure no student starts their MS/HS journey alone.
