The mission of Chesterton Academy is to help parents raise up a new generation of joyful leaders and saints, educated in the classical tradition and the truths of the Catholic faith.
Inspired by Saint Pope John Paul II, we take as our
mottoCultura Vitae, the culture of life. We make it our
mission to prepare our students to triumph over the materialism and
despair that pervade our culture and to accept our Lord`s offer to
have life and have it abundantly. Our classical curriculum combines
a broad, liberal arts education with a strong emphasis on the
development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of
beauty.Through our Three Pillars Model, we form our students
in:
Intellect:We teach the classics of
Western thought from physics to philosophy, and the
interrelationship of the great ideas; teaching students not merely
what to think but how to think.
Character:We help students grow in the
four cardinal virtues of prudence, temperance, fortitude and
justice, which we believe are the foundation of leadership.
Spirituality:Our students come to
understand and embrace the truth of why they exist: to know God, to
love Him, and to serve Him in this world and be happy with Him
forever in the next.
Students at Chesterton Academy enjoy a cohesive, content-rich
education. A broad exposure to many different disciplines helps
students expand their interests and uncover hidden talents. Each
year builds on the previous, so that by the end of senior year, our
students are articulate, clear-thinking, well-rounded, and, very
importantly, joyful individuals.
I went to school here in 1958-1960. I was in the 2nd-4th grade. Great memories there. I was an Air Force Brat, so I left to go to Germany. I live in San Antonio, Texas now. Thank you for the memories!
