MSJA is a parochial, non-profit, school operated by the Mt. Sinai Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Southeastern Conference of Seventh-day Adventist K-12 School Board oversees the school's curriculum and teaching staff. We are accredited by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, Colleges, and Universities, and are a member of the National Council of private School Accreditation.
MSJA is located in the sunny state of Florida. It sits on the back property of Mt. Sinai SDA Church, and also houses a licensed child development center. The center is presently taking applications for children 6 weeks to 5 years of age. They also provide a morning and afternoon VPK program for the 4 and 5 year olds.
You can be assured that our Educational Complex, MSJA and the CDC, is committed to providing a Christ-centered curriculum in a safe and caring environment which is conducive to learning.

2) Co-ed students in K-9th grade. To enroll in kindergarten, the student must be 5 years old by August 15h.
3) Although the school is primaily for the youth of the SDA Church, it welcomes all students of good character. While no religion test is applied, it is expected that all students who attend will abide by the rules and regulations of MSJA.

Our purpose is to prepare each student for educational advancement and productive roles in the world of work, and ultimately to prepare their hearts and lives for the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Mount Sinai Junior Academy embraces the theme of "Preparing Hands, Hearts, and Minds." In addition to a comprehensive curriculum based on the S.D.A. educational goals, we provide enhanced learning opportunities inside and outside of the classroom. In collaboration with the home, school, and church, students engage in activities that develop their physical, mental, and spiritual capacities as they prepare to function as productive citizens in a global and technological community. These programs aim to meet the specialized needs and unique abilities and interests of each learner.
Our Objectives:
To encourage each student to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ To promote high scholarship
To instill within each student belief in eternal worth of each individual for whom Christ died, so that the student may be a contributing member of the society in which he/she lives
To aid the student in gaining a knowledge of health principles, such as exercise, proper diet, and abstaining from the use of harmful products such as tobacco, drugs, and alcohol
To provide instruction that will enable the student to gain the skills and knowledge needed to progress through all levels of education
