Located just 15 miles from Eugene, Oregon, is Laurelwood Academy. This beautiful campus is dedicated to providing a Christ-centered, secondary, academic and work education program, all focused on mission outreach and service.
Music adds a dimension to the program with band, handbells, choir, ensembles, guitar, piano, and voice lessons by opening doors of opportunity for students to share in churches far and near.
Students at Laurelwood are excited about the mission opportunities given them around the world. For a whole month each year students are selected for various foreign mission trips in places like the Phillippines, Norway, Poland, Kenya, Mexico, France, Scotland, Costa Rica, and the United States. Projects such as evangelistic meetings, literature evangelism, church building, renovation and cleanup, musical ministries, vacation Bible school, farming, digging, planting, painting, working with orphans and the elderly are all a part of the mission program.
A unique work-education program provides opportunities for the students and teachers to work together in revenue-producing industries. The greenhouse and farm provide food to the cafeteria and to markets in the city. The auto and welding shops, the packaging industry, the Christmas wreath and planter box production provide excellent learning tools. Although not all the industries are owned by Laurelwood, gateways have been opened for them to work with other businesses. Also, students may apply to work in the Literature Evangelism Department, which is a successful part of the work education program. In 2005 the school received accreditation from Northwest Association of Accrediting Schools (NWAAS).
The basis for Laurelwood Academy's existence is to provide a curriculum and campus life that enhances students' potential to intimately know God and his Son, Jesus Christ.
