Fountainview Academy, high school in Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada
Fountainview Academy is a private high school in rural British Columbia, located about 17 miles south of Lillooet. The campus sits on open land with green fields and simple, well-maintained buildings where students move between classes and work areas.
The school was founded in 1975 and is supported by the Seventh-day Adventist Church while maintaining its own operations. It follows teachings from the book 'Education' by Ellen G. White, combining classroom study with hands-on work since its beginning.
The school's name references a spring that marks the land. Visitors can see how Christian values are woven into students' daily routines and interactions with one another.
Students spend about 25 hours per week in classes and a similar amount of time on practical work such as farm operations or campus maintenance. The school maintains a quiet, orderly setting with structured daily routines.
The school operates an organic farm that in 2008 was the largest producer of organic carrots in the entire province. This operation shows how students learn farming techniques while contributing to a major food production project.
