COVID-19 Update

On April 2, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer rolled out Executive Order 2020-35, which mandates a “suspension of in-person K-12 instruction for the remainder of 2019-2020 school year”

Unless restrictions on public gatherings and use of school buildings is lifted before the end of the 2019-2020 school year,” it is unlikely that we will have graduation this year as scheduled on May 24, 2020. Unless the pandemic miraculously disappears sooner than expected, Great Lakes Adventist Academy will seek an alternate date in the future to hold a graduation ceremony for our seniors.

Great Lakes Adventist Academy, along with the other schools in the Michigan Conference, will continue forward with distance education for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.

In an effort to keep our school family safe during this time, and to remain in compliance with social distancing orders and recommendations, we are kindly asking that you be patient and wait until those restrictions are lifted to come and get your child’s belongings and move them out of the dorms.

Parents and students will be notified via email of any updates.
