School Notes
The purpose of Chesterton Academy is to nurture the minds and
the souls of our students through an integrated education. We
believe that all truths are related to the central truth of the
Incarnation, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Faith
and reason do not contradict one another, nor are they to be
segregated from one another. Through the study of art, music,
literature, language, history, mathematics, science, philosophy and
religion, we want to prepare our students to think both rationally
and creatively, to defend their faith, to contribute positively to
society, and to promote a culture of life.We are called as faithful
Christians to build a Culture of Life, which means going against
modern trends and fashions in almost everything, especially in our
approach to learning. As G.K. Chesterton said,"A dead thing
goes with the stream; only a living thing can go against it."G.K.
Chesterton represents the ideal of a complete thinker but also of a
modern cultural warrior. At the beginning of the 20th century, he
foresaw and addressed many of the destructive trends that have
continued into the 21st century. As a recognized defender of the
faith, a literary genius, and a stellar example of Christian
charity, Chesterton is a perfect model on which to develop an
integrated education.We are preparing our children for both
temporal life and eternal life: to be good citizens and to be
saints.
Going on our 3rd year with Chesterton Academy and the school is still exceeding any expectations we have had on all levels. This has not been our experience in the past with other schools. The students are well educated and "joyfully Catholic" is exactly so.
