Fall 2026 Shadow Days

Considering enrolling for the Spring 2027 semester or the 2027-2028 school year?

Join us throughout the fall for designated Shadow/Tour dates where your student can spend “a day in the life” of a Chesterton Student.

We welcome families in two ways, and you’re welcome to choose one or both:

  • Parent tour, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Walk the campus, see our classrooms, and bring your questions about curriculum, formation, and admissions.

  • Student shadow day, 7:45 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Your son or daughter spends a full school day as a Chesterton student. They’re paired with a current student host who brings them to class, introduces them to friends, and shares lunch with students.

“At first my daughter was unsure about attending Chesterton, but by the end of her first year, she had me in tears as I watched her grow academically, but more importantly, in her Catholic faith.”
