We are looking forward to a memorable day on June 9 to celebrate the graduation of the Ad Fontes Class of 2012! The ceremony will begin at 1pm  at Centreville Presbyterian Church.

We are very pleased to have Mr. Vigen Guroian as our commencement speaker. Mr. Guroian is a University of Virginia professor, and a leading advocate, writer and speaker on the value of a classical and Christian education. Ad Fontes and other classical schools have included his writings as part of our teacher training. He has a deep walk with the Lord, and a great love for young people. He can speak poignantly about classical education and the transition to college life. His full bio is at the end of this article.

With four sisters and two brothers, Patricia grew up with a clear example of what it
means to live in a gospel-centered community. “My father is the most hilarious person you’ll ever meet,” she says, “he loves doing things as a family, so we always eat meals together, and at breakfast he always reads the Bible to us.”

All of Patricia’s older siblings have graduated from AFA, and she couldn’t wait to start going to “real school” when her turn came in 6th grade. Remembering her first year at AFA she says, “I was much more quiet then. I remember looking up to the older students, but now the younger students are looking up to us.” This is a cycle she doesn’t take lightly. As an upperclassman, she intentionally spends time with younger students. “I remember when I was younger and juniors or seniors let me sit with them at lunch and I loved that. So now I try to hang out with the younger students too. But that’s not the only reason — they’re fun!”

On Saturday April 28, 150 guests were touched by articulate students and moved by a stirring address by Cal Thomas while joining to raise over $20,000 to support the mission and vision of  Ad Fontes Academy. We offer special thanks to our event sponsors, Christopher Consultants and Mathansium.

One of the evening speakers shared a personal testimony of the Ad Fontes vision , “We discovered that our daughter can have an education where Christ is the Lord of all things, where her teachers can be mentors and her classmates brothers and sisters, where character and intelligence both mattered, and where history, great books, and articulate thinking, writing and speaking were highly valued.”
