Specialized Curriculum

At Chesterton Schools, we emphasize a classical education that prioritizes humanities, math, science, and the fine arts. This curriculum not only equips our students with essential knowledge but also cultivates critical thinking and a love for learning. Our approach prepares them for the complexities of the modern world while grounding them in timeless truths.

Spiritual Formation

Catholic education is central to our mission. Each school day begins with Mass, reinforcing our commitment to spiritual growth. We teach theology from the Bible and the teachings of the Catholic Church, allowing students to explore their faith deeply. Annual pilgrimages and retreats create opportunities for personal reflection and community bonding, essential elements of our student experience.
