Dr. Guldemond graduated from McMaster with an Honors B. A [67] and an MA from the Un of Waterloo [‘70] before taking up High school teaching so Mary could stay home as they started a family. During this time, he was active in church organizations, served as a church organist [joined the RCCO], and local political activities while continuing studies at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto as well as the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education [M.Ed.’76]. During this time, he also served on professional teacher and administrative Boards and Committees.

After he was appointed Executive Director of the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools, [1979] the family moved to Hamilton. As this job involved government relations, the Board encouraged him to finish his doctorate at the University of Toronto. After that, most summers were spent teaching courses in the philosophy of education, history of education, curriculum design, law, and professional ethics for Calvin University [MI], Redeemer University [ON,]and Kingswood University [NB]. The rest of the year was dedicated to normal Board of Education functions [ Human resources, curriculum, and development] and serving on the boards of several national and international organizations.

Dr. Guldemond retired in 2009 to do more research and write more books. These were finished in 2014 and 2021. His current project is to encourage educational institutions to assemble archives so that the development of independent [especially Christian] schools in Canada can be documented and studied. To that end, he has assembled the OACS collection as an example of the materials needed for this goal.

Dr. Masson is a former pastor, public intellectual, and proud Member of the Upper Mohawk band in Canada. He has lectured and written on a wide variety of topics and in various venues. His primary concerns centre upon the problems caused by departures from the Christian understanding of human nature (individual persons created in imago Dei). That view was abandoned by the Enlightenment and a substitute installed by its successors, the Romantic poets.

Some of his research interests, as expressed in his book Romanticism, Hermeneutics, and the Crisis of the Human Sciences (Routledge, 2016), lie in exploring the way that the humanities have been repealed and replaced by the human sciences and a new constructivist anthropology. Tradition was abandoned in favour of the goal of a wholly self-constructed humanity

He is a proud husband and father of two and resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He takes great joy in the classical education process which has resulted in two beautiful children who have an established love of literature, music, mathematics, and the life sciences, and are now steadily on the path toward a lifelong love of learning.
