Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists Fountainview Academy is parochial boarding secondary school, located 27kms (17 miles) south of Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada.[1] It enrolls approximately 60 students in grades 10–12,[2] primarily from the United States of America and Canada, but students also come from other countries, such as Korea, Germany, Iceland, and Papua New Guinea.[3] It has a youth orchestra and choir[4] and all students participate in one and/or the other.[5] The school is closely affiliated with, but not owned or operated by, the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[6]
Philosophy of education
The book Education by Ellen G. White provides the principles which guide the Academy.[7] "Fountainview Academy strives to achieve its mission through a balanced program of vocational training[8] and study. Each student is required to attend approximately 25 hours of classes and 18–20 hours of career and technical training each week as a means of translating theory into practice in the individual’s life."[9]
Work experience and service activities
The high school includes an organic carrot farm[10] which in 2008 was the largest producer of organic carrots in the province of British Columbia.[11] The Adventist Church historically strongly advocated that students gain vocational training experience as part of their education. The carrot farm provides the students with such practical work experience. Students also meet their weekly career and technical training requirement by being assigned to various departments in campus development and upkeep, digital media, janitorial, cafeteria, or the office.[12]
Conversion therapy allegations
In 2018, a previous student posted allegations on Medium that Fountainview Academy had engaged in the discredited practice of conversion therapy on LGBTQ+ students.[13] In 2021 another student came forward with similar conversion therapy allegations.[14]
