History

In November 1995, the National Christian Foundation for Education and The Arts Trust (NCF) was established. Fundamental to NCF's goal was the belief that all labor in vain unless God directs our efforts – nisi Dominus frustra.

When Ad Fontes Academy opened in September 1996, it started with 8 students in grades 9–10. AFA graduated its first class of five seniors in June 1999. In 2000, AFA added grades 7 and 8 to the high school program. In 2003, kindergarten was added and grades 1 to 6 the following year for a full K-12 program.

Teaching methodology

The teaching methodology is based on Dorothy Sayers’ essay, The Lost Tools of Learning. The teachers further utilize the methods in John Milton Gregory's book The Seven Laws of Teaching.
