Rooted in History, Leading into the Future
Established in 1955, Blue Mountain Academy remains committed to excellence in education and shaping minds for generations.
We strive to provide a Christ-centered education that leads students into lives of service to God. This is facilitated by inspiring worship, stimulating bible classes, and an atmosphere filled with opportunities to put spiritual learning into practice. Students participate in a variety of spiritual outreach opportunities, such as a week of prayer, Bible labs, and Bible studies.
Spiritual Growth
College Preparation
At BMA, students are offered the chance to develop vocational ethics and essential skills through various labs, enhancing their employability. Central to this is the Vocational Education program, which aims to foster an appreciation for work and instill good work habits. BMA's policy includes providing two daily periods for VOED, with evaluations conducted quarterly.
Academic Excellence
Along with the standard secondary education classes, we also offer a variety of classes that are not found in a typical high school - from inspiring religion classes to specialty elective classes such as aviation, auto tech, sacred music, and technology. We also offer Dual enrollment classes/Vocational education/standard and advanced studies diploma/general and college preparatory.

“They shall be all taught of God” (John 6:45) is the motto chosen by our founders. We believe that the best way to discover what God teaches is to seek a daily relationship with Him.
