Escondido Adventist Academy (EAA) is a Seventh-day Adventist-governed private school in Escondido, California, serving students in grades kindergarten through 12. It is operated by a school board which represents the 14 Seventh-day Adventist churches in San Diego North County. Escondido Adventist Academy is a part of the Southeastern California Conference of the SDA School System.
It moved to West 9th Avenue in 1956, where it operated grades 1–10 under the name "Escondido Junior Academy." In 1982, it added Kindergarten and grades 11 and 12 and a few new buildings. It also changed to its current name to reflect its new senior academy status. In 2008, the school sold its 9th Avenue campus and moved to a new facility on Deodar Road, as part of a joint campus with the Escondido Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The school is accredited by the Board of Regents of the General Conference of SDAs and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
