In addition to offering a general diploma East Pasco Adventist Academy has a wide variety of classes.

The school's curriculum consists primarily of the standard courses taught at college preparatory schools across the world. All students are required to take classes in the core areas of English, basic sciences, mathematics, aforeign language, and social sciences. Religion classes are mandated on a yearly basis.

The music program includes band, choir, hand-bells, and private lessons.

Spiritual aspect

Students are required to take religion classes each year. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines.

Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually oriented programming that relies on student involvement.
