The Gilead Academy campus, while conveniently located close to many lovely local communities, is situated in the heart of the sparkling lakes and majestic forests of Almaguin Highlands. This idyllic backdrop creates the perfect opportunity for what we like to think of as a classroom without walls, which provides boundless opportunities for hands-on learning, community volunteering, quiet meditation, relaxation and friendships.
The Academy’s year-round schedule allows us to offer a personalized course of study that highlights spiritual growth, music and wholistic living.
Summer Fest 2026
With grateful hearts and joyful anticipation, we look forward to celebrating our annual Summer Festival— a sacred and uplifting time of worship, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Psalm 133:1 (JUB)
Friday, July 17 – Sabbath, July 25
During these days, we will gather as one family in Christ, seeking to draw nearer to the Lord and to one another through:
Daily Worship Services – Reverently entering His presence, lifting our hearts in praise, and growing in His Word
Fellowship Activities – Sharing joy, encouragement, and meaningful connections with each other
Children’s Activities – Faith-filled and engaging moments lovingly prepared for our younger ones
Concert – A joyful and uplifting performance by our very own Northern Lights Steel Orchestra
This will be a precious opportunity to rest in God’s presence, rejoice in His goodness and faithfulness, and be gently refreshed in spirit as we walk together in unity and love.
May it be a season of renewal, encouragement, and deep spiritual blessing for all who attend.
Attendance is by reservation only.
Our story began in 1980 with a vision to awaken God’s people to their High Calling. Officially organized as a not-for-profit publishing association in 1983, Gilead Academy was built over forty-plus years by the love and dedication of countless volunteers and their tireless helping hands. It has been the burden of many that have laboured, to bring this vision to life. Today, we continue to honour that vision with that same dedication.
Gilead Academy is built on the conviction that God’s Inspired Word is the foundation of all true education. Our educational values are based on the seven Biblical principals of trust, integrity, generosity, diligence, watchfulness, friendship, and purity.
At Gilead Academy, we strive for an environment of compassion, support and opportunity in which everyone can develop to their fullest capacity. It is our greatest joy to see people progress; learning more and still more of God’s purpose for their lives.
