St John of Kronstadt Academy

🏛 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞

Every great work begins with a vision.

Today, we are pleased and excited to share the 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗞𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗱𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆—a glimpse into what we hope and pray will become a place where generations of children will grow in wisdom, virtue and eloquence through a classical Orthodox education.

Our Master Plan is more than a blueprint for future buildings. It reflects a long-term vision of creating an Academy campus that is based on the true, the good and the beautiful and that will inspire the hearts and minds of our students.

We want to thank our architect, Michael Suttie from M.J.Suttie Architects and his staff for their amazing work on designing our campus. Michael is one of the best classical architects in Australia and his Masterplans illustrate why!

This vision can only become a reality through the generosity of our community. We 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 through a 𝘁𝗮𝘅-𝗱𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Every gift, no matter the size, helps lay the foundation for future generations of students.

We are deeply grateful for the prayers, generosity, and encouragement of our community. By God's grace, and with your continued support, we look forward to building a lasting legacy for Orthodox education in Australia.

🍓🍈𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀

Learning came to life as our students put their procedural writing skills into practice by carefully following each step to create their own colourful fruit kebabs.

Beyond developing practical skills, the activity encouraged students to appreciate the importance of making healthy choices and caring for the bodies God has entrusted to us. As they prepared and shared fresh fruit together, they were also reminded to give thanks to God for His abundant blessings and the nourishment He lovingly provides.

Moments like these remind us that learning extends far beyond the classroom, shaping both the mind and the heart. 💙

💯✨ 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽!

Our Prep students recently celebrated the special milestone of 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 with a day full of fun, imagination, and reflection. Dressed as 100-year-olds, they delighted in imagining what they might be like and what they might be doing when they reach 100 years of age!

As part of the celebration, students read Isaac Watts' poem Against Idleness and Mischief and reflected on what it means to give a "good account" of our lives through our words and deeds. They also learned about saints who lived more than 100 years ago, reminding them that a life well lived is one marked by faith and virtue. To finish the day, students enjoyed counting to 100 as they created their very own 100-bead necklaces.

It was a joyful celebration that combined learning, creativity, and meaningful reflection—an unforgettable way to mark 100 wonderful days at the Academy. 💙

🎙️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 | 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹

What does it take to establish a classical Orthodox school in Australia, and why does it matter today?

Our Head of Academy, 𝗙𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱,recently joined 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲, host of the 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 podcast, for an in-depth conversation about the vision behind St John of Kronstadt Academy and the renewal of classical Christian education. Educating Humans is a podcast dedicated to exploring classical and liberal arts education in Australian primary and secondary schools, asking what it is, how it can be achieved, and why it matters.

In this thought-provoking episode, Fr Stephen reflects on the Academy's journey from its founding to its continued growth, the central role of virtue in education, designing a curriculum that forms the whole child, the vocation of the teacher, and why Christian education must aim for far more than academic success.

Whether you are a parent, educator, or simply interested in the future of education, this conversation offers a compelling vision for cultivating wisdom, virtue and eloquence in the next generation.

🎧 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2003935/episodes/19457408

If the conversation resonates with you, we encourage you to share it with others who are passionate about education and the formation of young people.

Some of the most valuable learning doesn't happen during a presentation—it happens in the conversations, the questions, and the connections made throughout the day.

𝗜𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, we'll gather for the 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗼𝘅 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 to explore a richer vision of education through inspiring presentations, engaging workshops, and meaningful fellowship.

Whether you're an educator, parent, school leader, clergy member, or simply passionate about education, this is an opportunity to learn alongside others who share a commitment to forming the whole person.

There will also be opportunities to browse our book stalls, connect with fellow attendees, and continue the conversation beyond each session.
