NPAA School Wide Goals

The mission of Newbury Park Adventist Academy is to develop Christlike character, gain wisdom through Biblical principles, and foster unselfish service.

We believe this is exemplified on our campus by our students culminating in the command that Christ left us in John 13:34.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

These guiding forces have aided us in adopting our School Wide Goals.
