Alcuin of York

Hey guys
I’m Alcuin of York, 69 yrs old.
Read my books and follow for more.
Love lots🫶

Hey everyone, Alcuin here! Just dropping by to remind you that this school wasn’t built by ghosts! 👻 No ghost projects or disappearing funds here. 💪

Unlike those ghost projects you hear about, my platform is all about building, literally and intellectually.

By the way, I’m throwing my hat in the ring for government. If you want someone who knows how to build strong foundations, whether it’s schools, faith, or a future, make sure you vote for me.

No to corruption. Yes to Good governance.

Glad kids these days are still using the things I organized.
Yes, kids — I organized education around the Seven Liberal Arts:
🗣️ Grammar | 💬 Rhetoric | 🤔 Logic | 🔢 Arithmetic | 📐 Geometry | 🎶 Music | 🌌 Astronomy

It became the foundation for Europe’s universities — and eventually, your school system today.
You’re welcome. (Or… I’m sorry. Depends on how finals week is going.)

Back in my day, being a scholar and teacher meant spending endless nights hunched over parchment, fixing grammar by candlelight 🕯️📜. Between correcting students’ Latin and revising my own theological works, I could’ve really used a digital scribe! Thats why I use Grammarly. Grammarly is a writing assistant that helps you check grammar, spelling, and clarity so your words always come out polished and professional. If Grammarly had existed in the 8th century, I might’ve saved myself a few ink stains — and probably published twice as many manuscripts. 😉✒️

📚 Day well spent sharing wisdom with the youth of Ateneo!

The tools may have changed — chalk for markers, parchment for tablets — but the mission remains the same: to awaken minds and shape hearts. 💡✨

If only Charlemagne had these smartboards back in Aachen… maybe he’d have finally learned grammar faster. 😅

May every lesson lead not just to knowledge, but to goodness.

Received this portrait of yours truly from as a farewell gift. Truly inspiring art. Like fuel to my (apparently mediocre) poetry. I am now headed to becoming abbot of the Abbey of St. Martin at Tours.

First day at the job, now working with Charlemagne! Grateful for this opportunity to be working with the King of Franks and to be able to join his court at Aachen. First off I would like to thank the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with this opportunity, I would also like to extend my gratitude to my parents, friends, teachers, and everyone who contributed to my education and who believed in me from my hometown of York.

As the chief advisor to the King I promise to take charge in the revival of learning, arts, and culture. Education will be a top priority under King Charlemagne! I will make sure of it. There are also plans in motion to establish schools in monasteries and cathedrals, to further promote my cause for education. Looking forward to serving you all, and reshaping the medieval education system for the better!
