At Yakima Adventist Christian School (YACS), our misssion is to enable our students to develop a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.
We encourage an environment where students feel safe to grow spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically in order to be equipped with the skills for life and eternity.
Established in 1903, YACS has gone from a one-room country school house to a modern high-tech facility, preparing students for the 21st century.
Yet one thing has not changed, God is the center of this school.
