Fountainview Academy is a small, private boarding academy with approximately 60 students enrolled in grades 9-12. It hosts students mainly from the United States of America and Canada, as well as countries like Japan, Korea, Britain, Romania, and Mexico. It is widely known among the locals, as well as the Adventist churches across the province and even across the border for its youth orchestra and choir. It serves as both a high school and an organic carrot farm, using vocational education to help with weed control. The school offers a summer vocational program which allows students to learn different skills in a safe environment.

Every other year Fountainview Academy goes on a mission trip over its spring break time, the two most recent being Guatemala and Panama. There the students learn what it is like to live in poorer conditions and how to be a more effective witnessing tool. They also participated in the disaster relief project after hurricane Katrina.Fountainview Academy is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, although it is not directly owned or managed by that organization. It is unofficially known as one of the Seventh-day Adventist self supporting institutions.
