Forest Lake Academy (FLA), founded in 1918, is a college-preparatory Seventh-day Adventist Christian high school for 9th –12th grade students. Located in Apopka, a suburb of Orlando, it is owned and operated by the Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

FLA is strengthened from the diversity of cultural and ethnic backgrounds blended together in work, play and everyday life.

Our Educational Philosophy

As a Seventh-day Adventist school, we believe that, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God's character and purpose can be understood as revealed in nature, the Bible and Jesus Christ. The distinctive characteristics of Adventist education — derived from the Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White — point to the redemptive aim of true education: to restore human beings into the image of their Maker.

Happy Students at Forest Lake Academy
FLA Students in Prayer

Adventist education prepares students for useful and joy-filled lives by helping them:

  • Develop a life of faith in God and respect for the dignity of all human beings
  • Build character akin to that of the Creator
  • Become thinkers rather than mere reflectors of others' thoughts
  • Promote loving service rather than selfish ambition
  • Reach maximum development of their individual potential
  • Embrace all that is true, good and beautiful
