Ad Fontes Academy has been an absolute blessing for our family. Our daughters love the school and we are thrilled with the quality of the Christ-centered education. We are a military family and moved to Virginia with high school and middle school aged children. Moving at their ages is difficult, but Ad Fontes helped make the transition as easy as we have ever experienced. The teachers and administrators truly love the children. The students have been exceptionally welcoming. The upper school retreat at the beginning of the year was a blessing and allowed our daughter to meet and be welcomed by a new group of friends before classes even started. Our kids have loved the house system. The exceptionally dedicated team of teachers challenge our children to develop habits of mind and communicate very well with parents. To be quite honest, my wife and I don’t particularly like living in the DC area, but we love Ad Fontes so much that we are trying to stay here as long as we can!
Ad Fontes gives its students the freedom to explore their own ideals and ideas. You are pushed to make your own decisions about what to believe and defend them thoroughly. Students will only succeed at AFA if they are willing to put the effort in. This is not an easy school, but it is a good school. Nobody else is going to do your work for you, and if you can't be bothered to make the effort, you won't get very far. The community itself is also a major part of what makes AFA so unique. Everybody knows everybody else at least by name and grade, and students from all grades come together to share fellowship and competition through the house system.
However AFA does have its short comings. The school doesn't offer its students many (or any) opportunities for clubs, volunteering, AP classes, and leadership. The board has in the past worked against the teachers, and we lost some of our best faculty because of this. The school also doesn't offer much support for college.

Ad Fontes Academy is a place where there is safety, shelter, and immunity from the world in which we reside. My husband and I could not have made a more conscientious decision to enroll our daughter into a learning environment where she is taught the importance and value of a christian lifestyle. Students are groomed and nurtured to excel and exude a balanced intellect that is confident and ready to ponce on the abnormal with precision and skill. Parents can experience a satisfaction that their child will receive a quality education preferred through a christian access. Students are embraced, loved and armed with the truth of God's Word. There's nothing more available on this side of heaven than an education secured from Ad Fontes Academy. Without any reservation, I highly recommend Ad Fontes Academy to any parent desirous of seeing their child thrive academically in a christian setting. Ad Fontes Academy is one of the best private school in Virginia.
