History

The school's history traces to 1888 when the Minnesota Conference of Seventh-day Adventists opened the Minneapolis Preparatory School in the basement of the new Minneapolis Church on the northwest corner of 4th Avenue and Lake Street. In August 1889, The Minnesota Conference Committee decided the school needed to be expanded, so the school moved to a rented three-story hotel on Main and Ferry Streets in Anoka and was renamed the Minneapolis Industrial School. In 1904, a 94-acre farm near Maple Plain was purchased as the site for the Minnesota Industrial School. The move of the school to the new location also brought a name change: Maplewood Academy. The school commenced in 1904 with seven faculty members and 57 students in attendance. The Seventh-day Adventist General Conference Committee voted in 1928 to unite the academy with the Hutchinson Theological Seminary (MN). The yearly cost is about $18,000 per child.
