Our Academic Model
Operational Framework & Curriculum
Students in the Chesterton Schools Network 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.
Spiritual Formation
Forming leaders and saints
Nurturing the Spiritual Life
Catholicism is central to our mission. For this reason, every school day begins with Mass. We teach theology out of the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and papal documents. Other important ways we live the faith include annual pilgrimages and retreats, modest and wholesome extracurricular activities, and sacred art and crucifixes adorn the hall and the classrooms.
FAITH IN OUR SCHOOLS
Each day begins with daily Mass
Weekly opportunities for Adoration
Retreats, Confession, and Spiritual Formation
Faith incorporated into every subject
Chaplains or regular visits from priests and religious
Faithful Faculty
We work to find talented and dynamic faculty dedicated to the vision and mission of our school. Each faculty and staff member takes the Oath of Fidelity to the Magisterium at the Mass of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of the academic year. In addition to their teaching responsibilities, faculty at Chesterton Academy participate in the House System.
Pilgrimages
We encourage our schools to provide opportunities for students to go on pilgrimage. In addition to the March for Life and local pilgrimages, Chesterton students travel to Rome and Assisi, Italy. They encounter relics from the saints, sing for the Holy Father and see in real life the wonders of the ancient churches in the Eternal City.
