Some of our older elementary school students took part in a CASSO Soccer Tournament yesterday with several other schools. After finishing second in the round robin, they ended up losing in the semifinals and finished 4th. We are proud of how they competed!

Some of our students participated in the Schmidty Cross Country event yesterday and did quite well! #KAASaxons

Introducing our new KAA sports logo! From the shield to the helmet to the warrior pose, the design takes into consideration that King Alfred became known as the "King of the Anglo-Saxons" after he drove the Vikings out of London. Stay tuned for new sports jerseys & swag to come!

Last night was our 5th annual Vision Night. Our headmaster, Randy Frey, reviewed some highlights from the last school year & cast vision for the future. One of our teachers, Neil Brunet, led us all in a history lesson through the "History of the Peloponnesian War" by Thucydides.

A new school year means that a new group of boys have to learn how to tie a tie on chapel days (Grade 5 and up). So Pastor Frey led a quick how-to workshop after chapel this morning!

Public schools spend countless hours teaching how to test. Classical Christian schools spend years teaching how to think. The result? According to a 2020 study, CCE students outscore public school averages by 20-25% on standardized tests & are 2-4 grades ahead in reading & math.

Our annual tradition here at KAA on the first day of school is to have the students along with the teachers from our logic and rhetoric schools (Gr. 7-8 & 9-12) dine and converse together at a long banquet table to kick off the school year!

Here is the video of Dr. @JoelBeeke's address at last week's gala dinner titled: "Raising Children in the Light of Christ's Offices." It is well worth the listen, especially for parents and grandparents alike! youtube.com/watch?v=FFIHKhDh…

It was a wonderful time together at our gala dinner last Thursday night. The food was excellent. The fellowship was sweet. The performances from our students were superb. And the message from Dr. @JoelBeeke was a powerful and practical encouragement to parents. We praise God!

Thank you for joining us Dr. @JoelBeeke!
Yesterday the Queen (Mary) and I enjoyed a leisurely 5-hour drive from home to Waterloo, Ontario. Riding through a small village in the midst of the beautiful Ontario countryside, we came across the intersection of “Queen” and “Mary”—so I couldn’t resist taking a picture (photo 1)! We arrived early at the beautiful Trinity Bible Chapel (a church that has grown since 2017 from 50 to 1,000 attendees under the preaching of Pastor Jacob Reaume) and the equally beautiful King Alfred Academy (photo 2, a K-12 classical school which the church began in 2020 under the leadership of the associate pastor, Randy Frey, and now has 120 students), where I was to deliver an address for this school’s annual fundraising dinner event. The delicious prime rib dinner was attended by close to 200, of which about 80% attend the church (photo 3). My address was on “Raising Children to Imitate Christ’s Threefold Office” (photo 4). We also enjoyed hearing the 50-student choir sing two beautiful selections that underscored Christ’s full salvation (photo 5). Pastor Reaume showed me his immaculate, well-stocked library that is on site (photo 6) and Pastor Frey gave us a tour of the impressive school building (photo 7). Since Reformed Book Services had a nice selection of titles published by Reformation Heritage Books and other publishers, I was given liberty to recommend several books from the podium, and was grateful to see the brisk business RBS was doing afterward (photo 8). We arrived at the home of John and Miekie Beeke (my brother and sister-in-law) in Fonthill, Ontario before midnight.
