PUGET SOUND ADVENTIST ACADEMY

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Meet Laurie Yoshihara
Why should your family choose PSAA?
Choosing a school is a difficult decision for a family to make. Before I became principal for PSAA and KSDA in 2024, I worked for 20 years in the public schools. I taught math and science to a variety of secondary students. My own children began attending Adventist schools in 2014 and have both since graduated from PSAA. I never regretted the decision to switch from public schools to the Adventist system.
So why did I value having my students educated in the Adventist system? First and foremost—everyday, students here are shown Jesus. Here, students help one another and prayer requests are brought forward at the beginning of classes. Our students have Christianity modeled for them and Jesus reflected to them through the actions of others. Small class sizes mean individualized attention where students do not go unnoticed. Quality learning environments that encourage individual interests mean students leave school ready to embrace educational and professional responsibilities. Given the choice, I would choose again to have my children attend an Adventist school and I hope that you will consider it for your own family.

God bless!
