Profile
The purpose of chesterton academy is to nurture the minds and souls of our children through an integrated education. We believe that all truths are related to the central truth of the incarnation, crucifixion, and the 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, math, science, philosophy, and religion, we want to prepare our children to think both rationally and creatively, to defend their faith, to contribute positively to society, and to promote a culture of life.
