History

DayStar Adventist Academy began as Castle Valley Institute. DayStar began in 1970 when two doctors in Salt Lake City saw the need for an academy in the Nevada-Utah Conference. Today, DayStar has 320 acres. The academy operates Castle Valley Farms, one of the largest self-supporting farms in the country, and offers a variety of life skill courses, agriculture being just one of many. These technical and occupational classes give students ideas for their future careers. The school is located in Castle Valley, a green desert oasis nestled between two red mesas, with the towering 12,000 ft. La Sal Mountains at one end and the Colorado River at the other.
