Greaves Adventist Academy
Greaves Adventist Academy is an Independent K–11 Christian school located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, that is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. History. Greaves Adventist Academy traces its history back to the Montreal English Seventh-day Adventist Church School, which was founded in January 1899. Over the next few decades, an English-language school and a French-language school were both operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Montreal. In the 1952, the English-language school was renamed the Montreal Seventh-day Adventist School, and the school was located at the Westmount Seventh-day Adventist  Church. Enrollment was low at this time, with only nine students in attendance in 1963. The school frequently moved during this era, occupying nine different sites before settling on its current campus, in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighbourhood of Montreal. In 1979, the school was renamed The Adventist School of Montreal (West). By this time the school's fortunes had begun to turn, and enrollment reached 73. The school also added a high school program at this time. In 1994, the school was named Greaves Adventist Academy, in honour of Sylvia Greaves, who joined the school in 1963 as  its only teacher, and at the time of her retirement in 1985 was its principal. In 2008, Greaves expanded by adding a satellite school at a second campus: Greaves Adventist Academy - Sartigan Campus. This second school offers grades K-7 education in both English and French. The parent school became known as Greaves Adventist Academy - Montreal Campus. By 2013, enrollment at the Montreal Campus had reached 277 students. Academics. Greaves is a full K-11 academy.
