The purpose of Chesterton Academy is to nurture the minds and the
souls of our children 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 children to think both rationally and creatively, to defend
their faith, to contribute positively to society, 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. For more information, visit Chesterton Academy today.
