The History of Eastwood SDA Jr. Academy.

In 1900 the congregation of Eastwood SDA Church purchased a church building on South Ohio Avenue. The church was two blocks south of Broad St.

In 1902 they started a church school in the basement of the church. We do not know the name of the teacher at that time. In 1906 the teacher was Mrs. Vada Welch.

By 1910 the school had outgrown the basement of the church. Mr. and Mrs. Seibert donated ground to the church on the corner of Union and Ryan. The School was constructed on this sight. In 1950 an addition was built onto the school and the school remained at that location until the Spring of 1961.

Land was purchased further East of downtown and a school was built on 270 Napoleon Ave. The church and school moved into the new facility in the fall of 1961. Worship Services were held in the school until construction of the new church was completed.

August 5th, 2005 property was purchased at 6400 S. Sunbury Rd., Westerville, Ohio. Transformation of the house was started immediately and the first worship service was held at the new location December 3rd, 2005.

Work began in early spring of 2006 on construction of the new school. Three days of school were held in the church. August 28th, 2006 we had our first day of school in the newly constructed building at 6350 S, Sunbury Rd.
