Spiritual aspects
All students take religion classes each year that they are enrolled. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines. Instructors in other disciplines also begin each class period with prayer or a short devotional thought, many of which encourage student input. Weekly, the entire student body gathers together for an hour-long chapel service. Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually oriented programming that relies on student involvement. Every Friday afternoon, no classes can be attended for the preparation of the Sabbath day.
Activities
Every year, the academy's Pathfinder Club hosts a Pathfinder camping outside the campus. The camporee lasts 4 days with several activities like camp cookery, obstacle race, hiking, treasure hunting, swimming lessons, etc. that engage the preparation for God's second coming.
