Volume 48: Issue 2 (October 2026)
Welcome to Our Gratitude Month! It’s been about 9 weeks of school, and we are finally in the gratitude month, November! Is it too late to start imagining what Christmas would look like?! Okay, just maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves a little bit. While we wait for “the most wonderful time of the year,” let’s count our blessings throughout October. We had a splendid October that kicked off with our annual Independence Day dress-up and continued with our first basketball game of the academic year (P/S: We won!). Across schools, we had profound learning moments, sat through life skills lessons, and took a few trips. So, join us as we look through October at American Christian Academy.

A Visit to IFRA
Our 11th- and 12th-grade students have been learning workplace skills, and they took it up a notch by visiting Kokari Café. At the Café, they interacted with Mrs. Feludu, and gained insight into real-world business operations, which helped put their classroom lessons into perspective.
Our 8th and 9th graders visited the Institut Français de Recherche en Afrique (IFRA-Nigeria) as part of their French learning experience, broadening their understanding of the French language and culture beyond the classroom.
