King Alfred Academy

Classical Christian Education in Waterloo

Elementary & High School

MISSION

To glorify God by giving children a classical and Christ-centred education that equips them for a life of learning, excellence, wisdom, discipline and virtue.

VISION

We aspire to graduate generations of biblically informed young men and women who have a heart for the community, the ability to radically influence the culture for Christ, the courage to take a stand for the truth and the faith to believe that with God, all things are possible.

CHRIST-CENTRED

We believe that Christ is the centre and the starting point of all learning and wisdom. Through prayer and petition, students are taught to view all of life under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

CLASSICAL

We follow a timeless and traditional classical model of education that moves students through the trivium – grammar, logic and rhetoric stages – matching student growth to specific ages.

CHURCH LED

We are a ministry of Trinity Bible Chapel whereby the doctrine and convictions of the academy are guarded by the elders of the church. This ensures that students are discipled according to God’s word.

CHARACTER BUILDING

We believe education is not merely accumulating knowledge, but growing in wisdom (how to apply knowledge) and virtue (how to apply knowledge with moral excellence), through faith and repentance.

CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE

We are committed to both academic and spiritual excellence through a comprehensive curriculum while encouraging imagination and promoting the development of body, mind and soul.

COMMUNITY OF FAMILIES

We believe that parents have the primary role in a child’s education, discipleship and growth. Therefore, we are a community of families who are involved and invested in the life of the academy.

TESTIMONIALS

“We are so grateful for King Alfred Academy. Belonging to a Christian school that inspires a love of learning and Christian virtue in our children is an incredible blessing. Our children’s hearts and minds are being cultivated to understand the world around them through a Christian worldview.”

“The classical Christ-centred education at King Alfred Academy has been an absolute blessing to our family. The children are thriving academically in ways that we have not experienced in the Public and Catholic school systems. Recognizing KAA has a high expectation in regard to discipline and academics, our four children have developed a love for school and an excitement for learning. The children come home sharing scripture, talking about favourite subjects and expressing love for their teachers. Headmaster Frey and staff have shown such care and concern for our entire family, therefore, everyone has benefitted from enrollment. As parents, we see the fruit of a school that focuses on Christ, moral character and a culture of excellence. KAA is an answered prayer and we couldn’t feel more thankful!”

“We are very glad to have partnered with King Alfred Academy in the education of our children. We feel that we are true partners as we find the school reinforcing the teaching they receive at home. We have also clearly seen the love the staff at KAA have for our children with the result being increased confidence and a desire to learn and succeed. We can also testify that the classical model takes advantage of the God-given interests and stages of development, and we are amazed by how much our children are learning. The community and culture of the school have also been a blessing to our family.”
