We at Chesterton Academy have a vision where teens are joyful, generous, self-assured, purpose driven, and grounded in Jesus Christ. We know that our curriculum, already proven by 56 other Chesterton Academies currently in operation around the country, will empower teens with the knowledge and tools needed to be change-makers and to do it with joy and resolve.

Within two weeks of launching our Cultura Vitae Campaign we met our first challenge: We raised $50,000. Our gratitude was immense. Each donor chose to be a part of this lay apostolate movement to re-evangelize our culture through a Chesterton education. Then we had our GivingTuesday Match Challenge and again you came along side us and helped us raise $15,200! The generosity and support kept going. For our end of year challenge match, we raised another $17, 890! We are just months from opening our school doors and need your help to make it to the finish line!

To-date we have raised raised $109,000 that will go towards keeping tuition low and offering financial aid to families that need it to attend our school.

Our supporters believe in the power that a Chesterton education has to nurture the hearts, minds and souls of our students. They want to ensure that any student that wants to attend Chesterton Academy of St. Padre Pio can. Won't you to join us in this mission and invest your hard earned money into these bright and virtuous young men and women who will be our legacy?

"Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another." G.K. Chesterton.
