Chesterton Academy of St. John Paul II Classical School welcomed their first class of ninth-grade students back in the autumn of 2021. Every year thereafter, they have added one grade level until they will celebrate their very first group of graduating seniors in spring 2025!

At the Academy, they embrace their motto Cultura Vitae, the culture of life. In this way, they heed Christ’s call to have their fullest life in Him. This intentional joy for life and learning is imbued in their classical curriculum with a strong emphasis on the development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty.

New Chesterton Academy student Grace agrees, and recently shared the following about her experience at the school:

“Chesterton Academy has done so much in my life. I just started at this school and I have already seen so many changes in my own life. I have been pushed to learn more about my faith and who I am as a child of God. I am lucky enough to be able to include God in everything I do throughout every day at school and we always make sure that God is never put second.

Our daily routine, which consists of going to daily mass and praying before every class, has helped me to grow into a deeper relationship with Christ. I can also say that between the teachers who truly care about every student and the friends who never [exclude] anyone, the people at this school are truly amazing. I would honestly, with my whole heart, recommend this school to anyone who asks. The people that I am now surrounding myself with are not just looked at as just a group of friends, but they have become a family.

When I go to Chesterton Academy, I feel like I am where I’m meant to be. I genuinely love my school.”

We are so happy Grace is loving her experience at Chesterton Academy thus far. Many pleasant memories are yet to be made!

Jane and her older sister Sophia began attending St. Bernard School three years ago. You can find Jane and her sister at Mass on weekends at St. Bernard Parish. While Jane is still working on her preparation for First Holy Communion, Sophia received these two sacraments last year as a 5th grader. Both girls enjoy many of the activities that our school has to offer such as choir, band, altar serving, athletics, and student council.

Thank you Jane and Sophia for your beautiful souls, smiles, and love of St. Bernard!

Our spotlight series continues today at Chesterton Academy. Today we highlight freshman Theresa.

She is an aspiring physician and Chesterton Academy’s robust science curriculum is sure to aid her greatly in that endeavor. However, you see her here in her studio art class because classical education develops whole people, not specialized workers. Like all our students, God has gifted her with many talents both seen and unseen. With our diverse and rigorous curriculum, those talents can become fully realized.

Thank you, Theresa, for being a wonderful example for others!
