More than Academics - The Joyful Catholic Culture that forms Saints & Leaders
Too many schools neglect faith, reduce learning to test prep, and leave students adrift in a secular culture. Parents shouldn’t have to choose between academic excellence and authentic Catholic formation.
Catholic culture isn’t an add-on at Chesterton, it’s the heartbeat of daily life through Mass, Prayer, and Classical learning. Here, children grow in faith, virtue, and wisdom—becoming fully alive in Christ.

Why Chesterton?
Catholic Identity
At Chesterton Academy, everything revolves around Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith. All classes point to the Incarnation as the central event in human history, so students won't just learn about their faith in one class, but across the disciplines. Students read and discuss the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and papal documents.
House System
Chesterton Academy’s House system is drawn from the 1,000 year-old tradition of Christian education exemplified in the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge. The Houses provide real, tangible community within the larger school, giving students the opportunity to take ownership, fulfill the call to leadership, and to cultivate the ideal conditions for virtue.
Our classical curriculum combines a broad, liberal arts education with a strong emphasis on the development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty.
Classical Curriculum
Equal emphasis is given to the arts, so that every student learns to draw and paint, sing in the choir, act on the stage, give speeches, and engage in debate.
