Our vision is simple yet profound: TO CULTIVATE SAINTS and position the Academy as the leading Classical Orthodox Christian Academy in Australia.
Shaping the loves of our students is our prime objective and that starts and ends with love for God as revealed through His church: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and love for our neighbour made in the image and likeness of God.
Our MissionWe provide a Classical Christian Orthodox education that develops Christian wisdom, virtue, eloquence leading to Theosis through the lens of Christ, The Saints, the seven liberal arts and the great books. We achieve this by nurturing the souls, bodies, hearts and minds of our prep to grade 6 students to create lifelong learners and critical thinkers who contribute to church, society and who seek and love God with their whole being. The Academy will serve Orthodox families and the broader Christian community of the Brisbane region through a Classical Christian curriculum from Preparatory to year 12 with a focus on the liberal arts, the great books, the study of Latin and Greek, instruction in the Orthodox Christian faith and liturgical services.
The Academy will provide a truly Christian environment with classically focused teachers and classrooms, an emphasis on working closely with parents and Students , and on the interconnectivity of all things in God's creation. The aim is to fully enculturate the whole child while structuring the child's learning around the liturgical year.
A St John of Kronstadt student is taught to master the following four virtues in life.
Integrity
Living what we believe, saying what we mean, doing what is right, and ensuring our word is always trusted.
Humility
Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less (C.S. Lewis).
Temperance
The ability to exercise restraint of character and to serve with faithfulness, patience, and moderation.
Charity
Genuine care for one another through service, compassion, and sacrifice—in a single word: love.
