On October 10th, the Chesterton Schools Network was named as a contender for the 2025 Yass Prize, known as the “Pulitzer of Education Innovation.” Having been selected from thousands of applicants, we now have the chance to compete with 22 other candidates for this amazing $1M award.

The Yass Prize celebrates organizations, such as the Chesterton Schools Network, that exemplify Sustainable, Transformational, Outstanding, and Permissionless (STOP) education.

Through a growing network of classical high schools rooted in the Catholic faith, Chesterton schools offer an education that is both timeless and revolutionary: forming students in wisdom and virtue while equipping them to engage the modern world with creativity and joy.

As we continue expanding access to this life-changing model across the country, we are humbled to be recognized alongside other innovators transforming education for every student and community.
