A Message from Our Principal, Mr. Khan

I am honored and delighted to introduce myself as the new principal of Memphis Adventist Academy (MAA). My name is Kanther O. Khan, and I am truly blessed to join such an outstanding and vibrant community dedicated to academic excellence and spiritual growth.I want to share a little about myself. I am a passionate educator and a lifelong learner who values the importance of nurturing the mind and the spirit. 
My journey in education began over 35 years ago, inspired by my teachers and mentors, who showed me the profound impact that dedicated educators can have on students' lives.
As we embark on this new chapter together, my vision for Memphis Adventist Academy is to continue our tradition of excellence while exploring new opportunities for growth and action. I am committed to creating a nurturing environment where academic achievements are celebrated, spiritual growth is fostered, and students feel empowered to pursue their dreams and serve their community.
Our faith is at the heart of everything we do, and I am deeply committed to upholding and strengthening the Christian values that define our school. Together, we will strive to live out our faith through our actions, words, and relationships, ensuring that Memphis Adventist Academy remains a beacon of light and hope in our community.
In closing, I am eager to meet each of you in the coming weeks and months and learn more about your unique perspectives and aspirations for our school. My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out with any questions or suggestions or to say hello.
Thank you for welcoming me into the MAA Family. With God's guidance, we will continue to build a strong, faith-filled community where every child can flourish.
In Christ,
Kanther O Khan, Ed. S

ADVENTIST EDUCATION

Children in U.S. Adventist schools achieve on average half a grade higher than the national average, and beyond their own predicted ability. This is evidence by a recent CongnitiveGenesis study reported in the Christian Science Monitor. Children in Adventist schools make better moral decisions, as shown by ValueGenesis, an earlier study.

  • I have not heard much about Seventh-day Adventist schools. Are there many schools, or only a few?

    The Adventist Church is associated with over 7,000 educational institutions operating in over 100 countries around the world with over 1.5 million students worldwide. 

  • Does my family have to be Adventist for my child to attend an Adventist school?

    Absolutely not, though you and your child will gain the most benefit from Adventist education if you are a Christian or at least sympathetic with Christian beliefs.

  • Will an Adventist school try to turn my child into a Seventh-day Adventist?

    At an Adventist school, students’ freedom to think for themselves is respected and nurtured, and students are encouraged to learn how to make good moral decisions regardless of their creed or belief system. One key Adventist principle is that no one should be pressured into church membership, but join willingly as they choose. Children of Adventist parents become baptized members only when they are old enough to make the decision consciously and responsibly.

  • Are Adventist schools accredited? Do they provide as complete an education as other public or private schools?

    Every Adventist school is accredited by a state or national accrediting body. In addition, the church office of education also operates a comprehensive accrediting process to maintain a high standard of excellence in all Adventist schools. If you’re interested in a particular Adventist school, feel free to contact that school and ask to be put in touch with students and parents who attend that school to get a sense of what the education is like. We think you’ll find, as an ongoing study is finding, that on average Adventist schools are better places to learn than any other.

Accreditation

Memphis Jr Academy (now doing business as Memphis Adventist Academy) is accredited by two associations: Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, a member of the National Council for Private School Accreditation. The school is also registered with the State of Tennessee.
