Parkview Adventist Academy is a Christian High School located in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada, that is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and with Burman University.




History


Both Parkview Adventist Academy and Burman University trace their roots to a K-12 school founded in 1907 named Alberta Industrial Academy. This school was founded by Charles Burman and his wife Leona Burman, for whom Burman University were later named. The school was originally situated near Leduc, Alberta, but two years later moved to Lacombe, Alberta, where the school has remained ever since. In 1919 the school became a junior college, adding the first two years of university, and it was renamed Canadian Junior College. In 1947 the school expanded further, offering a full four-year college program, and renamed itself Canadian Union College.
In 1982, the high school portion of Canadian Union College broke off and became its own separate institution, taking the name Parkview Adventist Academy.
