RED RIVER VALLEY JUNIOR ACADEMY is one link in over 5400 educational institutions world-wide which are owned and operated by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. We are located 5 minutes east of downtown Winnipeg.

RRVJA is a Manitoba Certified Junior/Kindergarten to Grade 10 school.

PHILOSOPHY: The School believes that true education is more than the preparation for this life. It not only prepares the student for the joy of service in this world but also for the higher joy of service in the world to come.

MISSION STATEMENT: We will develop and nurture in all our students a love for Christ and humanity by providing a Christ-centred and Bible-based education. Our learning environment will encourage the students to pursue excellence in moral character, academic achievement, and service to others.

HISTORY: The first official school in Winnipeg was started in 1924 in the Old English Congregation Church at 290 Bannerman Avenue. The old church was converted into a two-room school with a “gymnasium” downstairs, (the basement) and the vacant lot next door as a playground.

The school carried the name of “The Winnipeg Seventh-Day Adventist Junior Academy.”

By September of 1961, the new school plant on Grey Street was ready.

With the generous donations of Misses Mary and Georgia Neithercut and the support of the local Adventist community, the project was successfully completed. The school has existed in this format till this time.
