History

Lake View Academy is a boarding school operated by the Northern Mindanao Conference of the Seventh-Day Adventists to fill the need of its constituents for Adventist Education in the secondary level. It was established in 1967 by the Northern Mindanao Mission to serve the whole its constituents and thus it was official named Lake View Academy. It opens on June 1967 with seven (7) teachers including the principal, Pastor Serafin F. Fadre. It catered to one hundred forty one (141) initial batches of students in the first and second year only. First graduation was in 1971. Situated in the one (1) hectare lot along the national highway of Don Carlos, Bukidnon, which was acquired through the efforts and negotiations made by the Mission Committee headed by Pastor Teofilo Layon, Northern Mindanao Mission president, and chairman of the Academy Board. During the pioneering stage, the students were accommodated in temporary shacks while the construction of the dormitories was done. Besides the contracted carpenters, students were employed in the construction and also in developing the school farm which also

helped finance their schooling. Being the younger of the two academies, (the other is Mindanao Mission Academy) which are operated by the Northern Mindanao Conference, the needs were enormous. The Union assisted financially in the surveying, processing of the documents and notarial fees of the school property, leaving the Northern Mindanao Conference to fill up the other needs such as the installation of water pump and generator, cots for the dormitories, trays, forks and spoons for the cafeteria, typewriters, adding machines, and a mimeographing machine. Since its founding, Lake View Academy continues to serve in order to fulfill the objectives and mission by carrying out a program of study geared towards the development of the students in their physical, mental, social, and spiritual facets of life. Presently, Lake View Academy is situated amidst the rural atmosphere by the Lake Pinamaloy, which is highly conductive to quiet study and reflective thinking, scores of graduates have gone out, succeeded in college and now many of whom have distinguished themselves in various lines of endeavor both in the denominational work and elsewhere.
