Our vision is to develop wisdom, virtue and eloquence through a classical Orthodox education.
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 MissionThe Academy provides a classical Orthodox education that develops Christian wisdom, virtue, and eloquence leading students toward holiness through Christ and the Saints. Our education is anchored in the seven liberal arts, the great books, the study of classical languages and instruction in the Orthodox Christian faith. We achieve this by nurturing the souls, bodies, hearts and minds of our preparatory to Grade 6 students to create lifelong learners and critical thinkers who contribute to church and society and who seek and love God with their whole being.
The Academy serves Orthodox families and the broader Christian community of the Brisbane region. As we grow, we will continue to offer a truly Christian environment with classically trained teachers, small classes, a personalised teaching focus and a strong emphasis on partnering with parents and students. We highlight the inter-connectivity of all things in God's creation. We aspire for our students to understand what it means to be human,
made in the image and likeness of God.
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.
