Killeen Adventist Junior Academy (KAJA) opened its doors as a Christian education institution in the fall of 1971. It began with community volunteers building two classrooms. In 1982, two additional classrooms were added, and curriculum was offered for grades 1–8. One year later, in 1983, a gymnasium with indoor sports equipment, a stage for school productions, shower facilities, a cafeteria, and additional classrooms completed our current complex.
Today, Killeen Adventist Junior Academy continues to serve as a private co-educational school owned and operated by the Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. It is accredited by the Southwestern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and the Texas Education Agency and offers an education from Pre-Kindergarten through grade ten.
Students from the Killeen Seventh-day Adventist Church make up most of the school’s population. However, a growing number of our community students and parents are finding our curriculum stimulating, both academically and spiritually. KAJA remains dedicated to the task of providing each child with a valuable educational experience by fostering growth and development in every aspect of a child’s life. Our mission is to provide a high quality, Christ-centered education, in a safe, caring, learning environment.
